Sadducees-They were the materialists of their tune.. No resurrection -They also denied the immortality of the soul and the existence of angels (See Acts 23, 8). They asked him -Their question was full of scorn and ridicule. They in- tended to show from Moses' teaching that the doctrine of the resurrection was absurd. 19. mases wrote -In Dent. 25, 5, 0. This law was given by Moses that the families of Israel might be perpetuat- ed and be kept distinct. Should take his wife, etc. -The children were to be reckoned in the genealogy of the deceas- ed brother. 20. Seven brethren -This was no doubt an imaginary case. The Saddneees as- sume that the resurrection includes the revival of the relations now existing. 23. In the resurrection -in the case stated serious difficulties would arise. Which of the seven husbands should have the risen wife. . 24. De ye not.... err -To err means to wander. They do not merely make a mistake but they wander in ignorance of the Scriptures.-Whedon. Ye know not -You err because you do not know ! 1) the Scriptures, which affirm this doc- trine; nor (2) the power of God, which is able to effect a new order of things in the world. --Cam. Bib. Power of God - The Bible rests the deetrine •of 'the re- surection on the rexereise of divine pow- er (Acts 20, S; 'ton. 1, 4; 1 Cor40, 14). 25. When they shall rise -That is, af- ter they have risen from the dead -in the future setate. Nor are given -This has reference to the Jewish custom by which the female members of the family were given in marriage by the father. Are as the angels -This answer strikes at another error of the Sadducees-a denial of the existence of angels, The glori- fied saints are not angels, but are in many respects "as the angels." 26. Book of Moses -The Sadducees had appealed to Moses as authority and now Jesus turns to the same source to prove hie point. In the bush -See Exod. 3, 5, 15. Tam, etc. -"Notice that the present tense is used. He cannot be the God of non -entities, non -existences. If he is their God they are his people, and, of course, must be in existence, and not ou tof existence. Questions. -Where was Jesus at this time? Who challenged his authority? Who were the Herodians? What ques- tion did they ask Christ? How did they hope to catch himeby this question? What was 'Christ's answer? What are some of the things we should redder to the government? What to God? What was the belief of the Sadducees? What qustion did they ask? How did they expect to catch Christ? Of what two things did Jesus say they were ignorant? What did. Jesus say of the resurrection state? ,L Beware of the flatterer. 'They send unto him certain of the Pharisees ., to cateh him" (v. 13.) "He that slanders me," says Cowper. 'paints me blacker than I am, and he that flatters me paints ane whiter. They both daub me, and when I look in the glass of conscience I see myself disguised by both." G. Campbell Morgan allows that, he who flatters with his lips breaks the ninth commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neibhbor." (Ex- odus xx. 16.) A missionary's notes say, "The course pursued by the enemies of our Lord does not seem strange to any one who knows anything of the surveil- lance which a Hindu officer establishes over any one whose sayings or doings it may be of importance for him to know. For instance, Major T., the agent for the viceroy at the court of Nawab Moorshedabed, complains that his house is as full of spies as it is of servants, nearly all of who ..nihe suspects, are in the pay of the Nawab. One servant, pretending not to know a word of Eng- lish, was discovered at length to know it well, and great was the major's, disgust at the discovery, for this man was in at- tendance at the table, where, of course, be would have ample opportunities of hearing his master's opinions expressed in all the confidence of sooial intercourse. One of the punkah -bearers, too, was found to be quite a well-to-do man. His position was a most menial. one; yet its ,duties took him within sight and hear- ing of his master many times a day. It was suspected that the Nawab was making it worth his while to submit to the drudgery of so mean a post." "A false witness shall not be unpunished." 1I. Be subject to the higher powers. "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" (v. 17.) A true Christian takes pains to be just and conscientious to every legal obligation. Love never makes false returns concerning personal prop- erty to evade the tax. Love pays its. dues. A little English boy about nine years of age, who went to Sunday school, one clay requested his mother not to al- low his brother to bring home anything which was smuggled when lie went to sea. "Why not?" asked the mother. "My eathechism says it is wrong." The mother answered, "That is only,the word of a man." `Mother,' said the child, `5s it the word of a man which said, `Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's?'" This reply silenced the mother, but the father still attempted to defend the prac- tise of smuggling. "Father," pleaded the child, `which is worse, to rob one or to rob many?" Both parents were convinc- ed and the practise of smuggling was dis- continued. III. Learn lessons from the marriage law. God's thought, in his own divine institution of marriage, is only carried out when a Christian man chooses a Christian woman and a Christian woman gives herself to a Christian roan. The negative command concerning marriage is, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers (II. Cor. vi. 14.) The positvie command is, "Be married ..only in the Lord". The Christian man who 1NTIeltNA7.'IONAL LICEISOV TO. XII SE1 PTEbMBBIle-,10, 1047 0. Jesus silences the Pharisees and sadeueee9. --mark 12: 13-27, Oommentary.-I. A deputation comes to Christ (v. 13). 13.

They were probably the partisan supporters of the Herod family, and so 'were favorable to the Roman dominion.- Whedon. To catch him -Matthew says "entangle him." A metaphor drawn from catching wild birds. Early in the day the leaders had challenged his authority (Mark xi. 27-33), and Jesus had silenced them completely; now they renew the attack and ask him three entangling question: 1. Concerning taxes. 2. Con- cerning the resurrection. 3. Concerning the great comrueadment (Mark xii. 28- 34). II. A question concerning our duty as citizens (vs. 14-17). 14. Master, we know, etc. -This was a hypocritical com- pliment. They hope by their treacherous flattery to induce him. to commit him- self tosome rebellious sentiment. Is is lawful, etc. -Caesar was a name common to all the emperors, derive& originally from Julius Caesar, the. proper founder of Roman imperialism in the place of the old -republic. The present emperor was Tiberius. The tribute was a. poll -tax, or levy of a denarius upon every person, imposed by the Roman government ever since Judea had become a province.- Whedon, The Jews 'detested this tax,e but its legality was supported by Berodians. Their question was so framed that it seemed impossible for him to escape. If he said it was not lawful, he would at once incur the hostility of the government and the Hero -diens could hand him over as a traitor; if he said that it was lawful he would lose the favor of the people and. his popularity would be destroyed. "Their motive now was not their usual hostility to Rome, but hatred of Christ. They actually afterwards accused, him "of forbidding to pay tribute (Luke xxiii. 2) ; and the chief priests, from the same hatred of him, cried out; "We have no king but Caesar" (John xix. 15. --Schaff. 15.

Bring Ate a, penny -Literally, a 1 deriarius, a Roman silver coin valued at about sixteen cents of aur` mousey 16. They brought it -By requiring them to bring him the coin, he compels - them to answer, tacitly, their own ques- tion; for the Jewish rabbis taught that, "wheresoever the money of any king is current there the inhabitants acknoevl- edge that king their lord." -Abbott. Whose . • • . . image -The image was probably the lilenees of the Roman em- peror, Tiberius Caesar. Superscription - The name and motto on the coin. They said.... Caoesar's-Thus acknowledging that they were submitting to Caesar's authority. "With -what divine simplicity was their strategem frustrated! .A. word. lays bare the true character of the af- fected case of conscienceet and of those who proposed it. - 17. Render -The word render implies the notion of moral duty toward Caesar quite as much as toward Goa.__God t. To Caesar .Sather, here, give Caesar. They ask, Is it lawful to give? Ile replies, Give back. Since they ac- cepted in the coinage of Caesarve he ben- efits - efits of his government, theepee wein re bound to give back a reeoanp te. So long as the citizen accepts the bene- fit of a government, he owes it allegi- ance and obedience. -Abbott. In this reply our Lori evades the iogity or every party, yeu to the truth in question, The Herodians cannot complain for Caesar's government is not attacked. The Pharisees cannot complain,heor ir own decision is in harmony, with confession. Our Lord refused to act ars a political patriot or a as a political biter. He simply decides as a religious teacher that government is right and must receive proper dues.-Whedlen, and to God -Not the temple tribute mere- ly, but all things. As the acceptance of Caesars government involves the duty of tax -paying to him, so the acceptance of every good and perfect gift from above involves the duty of supreme al- legiance to God. -Abbott. The face of the penny answered their question. It did more; it suggested a beautiful anal- ogy, too forcible to be omitted. As the penny bore the stamp of Caesar, so does the human heart bear the stamp"of God. As the penny should be rendered to Caesar, in honest, ungrudging payment, so should the homage of man's heart be rendered with willing soul to its ntalcedr --G,od.-Cowles. There were many dues which God required at their hands, which they might easily pay. if they were in- clined. Ilonor,•love, obedience, faith, fear, prayer, spiritual worship, were payments to God which they might daily make, and payments with which the Roman Govern- ment did not intefere.-Ryle.
