22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
22 All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died.
22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.
22 This continued with all seven of them, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman also died.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 12:22
Commentary on Mark 12:18-27
(Read Mark 12:18-27)
A right knowledge of the Scripture, as the fountain whence all revealed religion now flows, and the foundation on which it is built, is the best preservative against error. Christ put aside the objection of the Sadducees, who were the scoffing infidels of that day, by setting the doctrine of the future state in a true light. The relation between husband and wife, though appointed in the earthly paradise, will not be known in the heavenly one. It is no wonder if we confuse ourselves with foolish errors, when we form our ideas of the world of spirits by the affairs of this world of sense. It is absurd to think that the living God should be the portion and happiness of a man if he is for ever dead; and therefore it is certain that Abraham's soul exists and acts, though now for a time separate from the body. Those that deny the resurrection greatly err, and ought to be told so. Let us seek to pass through this dying world, with a joyful hope of eternal happiness, and of a glorious resurrection.
