Luke 20:27 Cross References

Luke 20:27

27: Then some Sadducees stepped forward--a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death.

While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the leading priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees came over to them.
They were very disturbed that Peter and John were claiming, on the authority of Jesus, that there is a resurrection of the dead.

But tell me this--since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead?

Then the Sadducees stepped forward--a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. They posed this question:
"Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother's heir.
Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest of them married and then died without children.
So the second brother married the widow, but soon he too died and left no children. Then the next brother married her and died without children.
This continued until all the brothers had married her and died, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman died, too.

That same day some Sadducees stepped forward--a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. They posed this question:
"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother's heir.'
Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest married and then died without children, so the second brother married the widow.
This brother also died without children, and the wife was married to the next brother, and so on until she had been the wife of each of them.
And then she also died.

One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus' claims by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven.

The high priest and his friends, who were Sadducees, reacted with violent jealousy.

Paul realized that some members of the high council were Sadducees and some were Pharisees, so he shouted, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were all my ancestors! And I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!"
This divided the council--the Pharisees against the Sadducees--
for the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, but the Pharisees believe in all of these.

"Watch out!" Jesus warned them. "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

This kind of talk spreads like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples of this.
They have left the path of truth, preaching the lie that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; and they have undermined the faith of some.

Then at last they understood that he wasn't speaking about yeast or bread but about the false teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
