Matthew 22:23 - 46

Jesus continues to amaze the religious and social leaders with His understanding and in-depth grasp of God's Law.  A group that claimed there was no resurrection asked Him a question about a woman married to seven brothers - to whom would she belong in the resurrection (do you see the irony in that question?).  Jesus not only answers the question but silences their ignorance about the coming resurrection.  Another group tried to puzzle Jesus by asking which commandment was the greatest.  Jesus summarized the entirety of God's Law into two commands:  Love God and Love others.  Jesus then asked them a question:  If Messiah is David's Son, why or how did David call Him "Lord"?  No one was able to answer the question; and their questions to Him stopped after this exchange.
