In today's passage, the Sadducees decide that it's their turn to try to trap Jesus. They tell a strange tale of a family -it's implied this family was known to them personally- and ask Jesus to explain how they would be related after the resurrection. Given their dismissal of all things supernatural and particularly the resurrection, this was quite ironic.--Of course, Jesus noted both the irony and the trap in their questions, so instead of answering them directly, He pointed out just how dangerous biblical ignorance can be. As we'll see, it leads to terrible mistakes that jeopardize our eternal future, so this merits our close attention as well.
