And Jesus answering said unto them,
Do you not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
All Commentaries on Mark 12:24 Go To Mark 12
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
The Sadducees do not have our hope for the resurrection, since they “know neither the scriptures nor the power of God,” who is able to restore what is lost, to raise what is dead to life, to revive what has rotted away, to gather together what is corruptible and finite. The Lord promised to do this, and he gives as a guarantee the promises he has already fulfilled. So let your faith speak of this to you, since your hope will not be disappointed even though your love may be put to the test. Letter , To Sapida.
