Mark 12:25

"Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?"

Key Reflection

Jesus rebukes his listeners for their misunderstanding, indicating that their mistake stems from a lack of familiarity with Scripture and an ignorance of divine power. This highlights the importance of Scriptural knowledge in comprehending divine truths and recognizing God's sovereignty.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 25. Are as the angels. That is, as the angels in respect to connexions and relations. What that may be we know not; but this passage teaches that the peculiar relation of marriage will not exist. It does not affirm, however, that there will be no recollection of former marriages, or no recognition of each other as having existed in this tender relation. {f} "but are" 1 Co 15:42-53 __________________________________________________________________
