Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29)
In this passage, (Matthew 22:15-46) three attempts were made to trap and discredit our Lord by means of loaded questions.
What is our motive for asking questions? Both Jesus' enemies and his disciples asked questions of him. One with the aim of tempting him and trapping him into saying things they could accuse him of and discredit his teaching, the other of wanting to know the truth for their own souls salvation. On what side are we? Whose disciples are we? The Pharisees had disciples and so have those today that hold serious error.
With the Sadducees question, the Lord not only asserted the truth of the resurrection, but gave a reason why they were mistaken. Why they erred. The same reason why many hold error today.
We look at these two points:
1/ The reality of the resurrection of the dead 2/ A two fold reason for error of doctrine - Not knowing the scriptures and not knowing the power of God.
