MARK 12:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?”
Jesus replied, are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? — the double diagnosis: not knowing the Scriptures and not knowing the power of God. The Scriptures contain the answer if rightly interpreted; the power of God makes the answer possible. The Sadducees' reductio fails on both counts — they have misread Scripture and underestimated what God can do.
