Context of Matthew 22:33
31“But now, as to whether there will be a resurrection of the dead—haven’t you ever read about this in the Scriptures? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said, 32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So he is the God of the living, not the dead.” When the crowds heard him, they were astounded at his teaching. 34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again. 35One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question:

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 33The multitude were astonished at his doctrine - God uses the infidelity of some for the edification of others.

Having thus silenced them, our Lord proceeded to show the truth of the…Read the comment
