Against Marcion Book IV (220)

For the question submitted to Christ had nothing to do with the god, but only with the state, of that world.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Therefore in the resurrection,.... At the time of the resurrection of the dead, in that state, supposing there will be such an one, which they denied; whose wife of them is she? the first, or the last, or any of the intermediate ones? for seven had her to wife; and she had no child by either of them; so that their claim seems to be alike; this they thought unanswerable, and sufficient to set aside the notion of a resurrection.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1858)

We see in these verses — what an old thing unbelief is. We are told that "Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question." Even in the Jewish Church, the Church of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the Church of Moses, and Samuel, and David, and the prophets — we find that there were bold, avowed, unblushing skeptics . If infidelity like this existed among God's people, the Jews — then what must have been the state of heathenism?
