Robertson: Mar 12:24 - Is it not for this cause that ye err?

Is it not for this cause that ye err? ( Ou dia touto planāsthe̱ ).

Mark puts it as a question with ou expecting the affirmative answer. Matthew puts it as a positive assertion: "Ye are."Planaomai is to wander astray (cf. our word planet , wandering stars, asteres planētai , Jud 1:13) like the Latin errare (our error , err).

Robertson: Mar 12:24 - That ye know not the scriptures

That ye know not the scriptures ( mē eidotes tas graphas ).

The Sadducees posed as men of superior intelligence and knowledge in opposition to the traditionalists among the Pharisees with their oral law. And yet on this very point they were ignorant of the Scriptures. How much error today is due to this same ignorance among the educated!

Robertson: Mar 12:24 - Nor the power of God

Nor the power of God ( mēde tēn dunamin tou theou ).

The two kinds of ignorance generally go together (cf. 1Co 15:34).

Vincent: Mar 12:24 - Therefore

Therefore ( διὰ τοῦτο )

A rendering which obscures the meaning. The words point forward to the next two clauses. The reason of your error is your ignorance of the scriptures and of the power of God. Hence Rev., correctly, Is it not for this cause that ye err?

Vincent: Mar 12:24 - Err

Err ( πλανᾶσθε )

Lit., wander out of the way. Compare Latin errare. Of the wandering sheep, Mat 18:12; 1Pe 2:25. Of the martyrs wandering in the deserts, Heb 11:38. Often rendered in the New Testament deceive. See Mar 13:5, Mar 13:6. Compare ἀστέρες πλανῆται , wandering stars (Jud 1:13), from which our word planet.

JFB: Mar 12:24 - Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures

Regarding the future state.

JFB: Mar 12:24 - neither the power of God?

Before which a thousand such difficulties vanish.

TSK: Mar 12:24 - Do // because // neither

Do : As the five books of Moses were the only scriptures which the Sadducees admitted as Divine, our Lord confutes them by an appeal to these books, and proves that they were ignorant of those very writings which they professed to hold sacred. He not only rectified their opinions, but so explained the doctrine as to overthrow the erroneous decision of the Pharisees, that if two brothers married one woman, she should be restored at the resurrection to the first. Isa 8:20; Jer 8:7-9; Hos 6:6, Hos 8:12; Mat 22:29; Joh 5:39, Joh 20:9; Act 17:11; Rom 15:4; 2Ti 3:15-17

because : Job 19:25-27; Isa 25:8, Isa 26:19; Eze 37:1-14; Dan 12:2; Hos 6:2, Hos 13:14

neither : Mar 10:27; Gen 18:14; Jer 32:17; Luk 1:37; Eph 1:19; Phi 3:21

Poole: Mar 12:19-27

Ver. 19-27. The true question about the resurrection was: Whether the bodies of the dead shall rise or not? Not whether they shall arise with the same qualities, affections, powers, &c. They are sown natural, but they shall rise spiritual, bodies, without affections and qualities disposing them to actions only necessary for the supporting the natural life, such as hunger and thirst, &c.; or for the upholding the world, that while one generation passeth it might be supplied by another, such as an appetite to marriage, &c.: what needs this when all generations shall be determined in the everlasting world? So as in truth these learned men showed themselves dunces, wholly ignorant of what they came to argue upon. They should first have proved that there would be any need of wives, or any such thing as marriage, after the world should have an end. In the mean time our Saviour proveth the resurrection out of the writings of Moses, owned by themselves for holy writ. Without a resurrection Abraham would not be Abraham, nor Isaac Isaac, nor Jacob Jacob. See the notes on this part of the history: See Poole on "Mat 22:24" , and following verses to Mat 22:32 .

Gill: Mar 12:24 - And Jesus answering said unto them // do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God

And Jesus answering said unto them,.... Which they thought he was not able to do, but would have been silenced at once by them, as many of their antagonists had been:

do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God? what is expressed in Matthew affirmatively, is here put by way of interrogation, which, with the Jews, was a more vehement way of affirming; See Gill on Mat 22:29.
