‏ Matthew 22:23

Marriage at the Resurrection

In this section, the Sadducees, who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, try to trap Jesus with a difficult question about marriage in the afterlife. Jesus uses their question to teach about the resurrection, the power of God, and the meaning of the Scriptures. He corrects their misunderstanding and shows that God’s promises are true and that life after death is real for those who belong to Him.

v. 23: The Sadducees, a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection, come to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people will rise from the dead or that there is life after death. They try to use a difficult situation to show that the idea of resurrection does not make sense (Matthew 22:23 a).
