Commentary on Matthew 22:24

Theological / Devotional

Master. Literally, “Teacher.”

Moses said. The Sadducees quoted, in substance, the levirate marriage law (see on Deut. 25:5, 6). According to this law, if a woman was left a childless widow, her late husband’s brother was to marry her. The first son born to this new union was to be considered the son of her first husband, to perpetuate his name, and to inherit his property.
