And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to CÃ&brvbr;sar the things that are CÃ&brvbr;sar's--Putting it in this general form, it was impossible for sedition itself to dispute it, and yet it dissolved the snare.
and to God the things that are God's--How much is there in this profound but to them startling addition to the maxim, and how incomparable is the whole for fulness, brevity, clearness, weight!
and they marvelled at him--"at His answer, and held their peace" (Luk 20:26), "and left Him, and went their way" (Mat 22:22).
The Resurrection (Mar 12:18-27). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
They marvelled (ἐξεθαύμαζον)
The preposition ἐξ, out of, indicates great astonishment. They marvelled out of measure. Hence Rev., marvelled greatly. The A. V. follows another reading, with the simple verb ἐθαύμαζον. The imperfect denotes continuance: they stood wondering. |

| They marvelled at him - At the wisdom of his answer. |
18 Then [2532] come [2064] unto [4314] him [846] the Sadducees [4523], which [3748] say [3004] there is [1511] no [3361] resurrection [386]; and [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004],
19 Master [1320], Moses [3475] wrote [1125] unto us [2254], If [3754] [1437] a man's [5100] brother [80] die [599], and [2532] leave [2641] his wife [1135] behind him, and [2532] leave [863] no [3361] children [5043], that [2443] his [846] brother [80] should take [2983] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [1817] seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80].
20 Now there were [2258] seven [2033] brethren [80]: and [2532] the first [4413] took [2983] a wife [1135], and [2532] dying [599] left [863] no [3756] seed [4690].
21 And [2532] the second [1208] took [2983] her [846], and [2532] died [599], [2532] neither [3761] left [863] he [846] any seed [4690]: and [2532] the third [5154] likewise [5615].
22 And [2532] the seven [2033] had [2983] her [846], and [2532] left [863] no [3756] seed [4690]: last [2078] of all [3956] the woman [1135] died [599] also [2532].
23 In [1722] the resurrection [386] therefore [3767], when [3752] they shall rise [450], whose [5101] wife [1135] shall she be [2071] of them [846]? for [1063] the seven [2033] had [2192] her [846] to wife [1135].
24 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], Do ye [4105] not [3756] therefore [1223] [5124] err [4105], because ye know [1492] not [3361] the scriptures [1124], neither [3366] the power [1411] of God [2316]?
25 For [1063] when [3752] they shall rise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498], they neither [3777] marry [1060], nor [3777] are given in marriage [1061]; but [235] are [1526] as [5613] the angels [32] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772].
26 And [1161] as touching [4012] the dead [3498], that [3754] they rise [1453]: have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] in [1722] the book [976] of Moses [3475], how [5613] in [1909] the bush [942] God [2316] spake [2036] unto him [846], saying [3004], I [1473] am the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]?
27 He is [2076] not [3756] the God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] the God [2316] of the living [2198]: ye [5210] therefore [3767] do [4105] greatly [4183] err [4105].
22 When [2532] they had heard [191] these words, they marvelled [2296], and [2532] left [863] him [846], and went their way [565].
26 And [2532] they could [2480] not [3756] take hold [1949] of his [846] words [4487] before [1726] the people [2992]: and [2532] they marvelled [2296] at [1909] his [846] answer [612], and held their peace [4601].
