SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:28
En la resurreccin pues, ¿de cul de los siete ser ella mujer? Porque todos la tuvieron.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:28
Verse 28. Whose wife shall she be of the seven?] The rabbins have said, That if a woman have two husbands in this world, she shall have the first only restored to her in the world to come. Sohar. Genes. fol. 24. The question put by these bad men is well suited to the mouth of a libertine. Those who live without God in the world have no other god than the world; and those who have not that happiness which comes from the enjoyment of God have no other pleasure than that which comes from the gratification of sensual appetites. The stream cannot rise higher than the spring: these men, and their younger brethren, atheists, deists, and libertines of all sorts, can form no idea of heaven as a place of blessedness, unless they can hope to find in it the gratification of their sensual desires.
On this very ground Mohammed built his paradise.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. Therefore in the resurrection , etc.] As asserted by the Pharisees and by Christ, supposing that there will be such a thing, though not granting it; for these men denied it, wherefore the Ethiopic version reads it hypothetically, if therefore the dead will be raised; upon such a supposition, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her , or were married to her. By putting this question, they thought to have got some advantage against Christ, and in favour of their notion; they hoped, either that he would give into their way of thinking, and relinquish the doctrine of the resurrection upon this, and join with them against the Pharisees, and so there would be no need of an answer to the question; or they judged, that if he returned an answer, it would be either that he did not know whose wife she should be, and then they would traduce him among the common people, as weak and ignorant; or should he say, that she would be the wife of one of them only, naming which of them, or of them all, or of none of them, they fancied that such absurd consequences would follow on each of these, as would expose the doctrine of the resurrection to ridicule and contempt; but they missed their aim, and were sadly disappointed by Christs answer and reasonings which follow.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-33 - The doctrines of Christ displeased the infidel Sadducees, as well a the Pharisees and Herodians. He carried the great truths of the resurrection and a future state, further than they had yet bee reveled. There is no arguing from the state of things in this world, a to what will take place hereafter. Let truth be set in a clear light and it appears in full strength. Having thus silenced them, our Lor proceeded to show the truth of the doctrine of the resurrection from the books of Moses. God declared to Moses that he was the God of the patriarchs, who had died long before; this shows that they were then in a state of being, capable of enjoying his favour, and proves that the doctrine of the resurrection is clearly taught in the Old Testament a well as in the New. But this doctrine was kept for a more ful revelation, after the resurrection of Christ, who was the first-fruit of them that slept. All errors arise from not knowing the Scripture and the power of God. In this world death takes away one after another and so ends all earthly hopes, joys, sorrows, and connexions. Ho wretched are those who look for nothing better beyond the grave!
