Notes

Matthew 22:31–32

God spoke of himself as the God of Abraham in the present tense. This shows that Abraham is still alive and that there will be a resurrection.

Matthew 22:23–33

The resurrection was an important topic in the time of Jesus. But the people only asked about it to try and trap him.

Matthew 21:23–22:46

This section focuses on how Jewish leaders challenged the authority of Jesus. Each time, the wisdom of Jesus revealed their lack of spiritual understanding. These debates also revealed the status of Jesus as the Messiah and the consequences of rejecting him. Sadly, the leaders became more resistant with each encounter and plotted to kill Jesus (Matthew 21:23, 46; 22:15–17, 23, 34, 41).
