Matthew 22
1. The parable of the marriage of the king's son.
9. The vocation of the Gentiles.
12. The punishment of him who lacked a wedding garment.
15. Tribute ought to be paid to Caesar.
23. Jesus confutes the Sadducees for the resurrection;

41. and puzzles the Pharisees by a question about the Messiah.














And last of all,
This phrase indicates the conclusion of a sequence of events. In the context of Matthew 22, Jesus is responding to the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection. They presented a hypothetical scenario involving a woman who married seven brothers in succession, each of whom died. The phrase "last of all" signifies the end of this hypothetical situation, emphasizing the finality and completeness of the sequence. This sets the stage for Jesus to address the broader theological question of resurrection and eternal life.

the woman died.
The death of the woman in this narrative serves as a critical point in the Sadducees' question to Jesus. In Jewish culture, marriage and family lineage were of great importance, and the Levirate marriage law (Deuteronomy 25:5-10) was designed to preserve a family line. The woman's death without children from any of the brothers highlights the futility of earthly concerns when considering eternal matters. This scenario underscores the Sadducees' attempt to challenge the concept of resurrection, as they believed that life ended with death. Jesus uses this opportunity to teach about the nature of life after death, affirming the reality of the resurrection and the eternal nature of God's kingdom. This connects to other scriptures, such as 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul elaborates on the resurrection of the dead, affirming the hope and promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Understanding the Resurrection
The Sadducees' question highlights a misunderstanding of the resurrection. Jesus' response clarifies that earthly institutions like marriage do not apply in the same way in the resurrection.

The Authority of Jesus
Jesus demonstrates His authority and wisdom in addressing theological challenges, affirming His role as the ultimate teacher and interpreter of Scripture.

The Reality of Death
The mention of the woman's death serves as a reminder of the certainty of death for all, prompting reflection on one's own life and relationship with God.

Faith Beyond Tradition
The Sadducees were bound by their traditions and interpretations. Believers are encouraged to seek a deeper understanding of Scripture beyond traditional or cultural constraints.

Hope in the Resurrection
Jesus' teaching offers hope beyond this life, encouraging believers to live with an eternal perspective, knowing that life continues beyond physical death.Verse 27. - The woman died also. This last word is omitted by Alford, Tischendorf, and Westcott and Hort, and seemingly with good reason. Then, according to these Sadducees, arose the difficulty which they deemed insurmountable.
