# Is this not the reason you are mistaken, because ... power of God?

Jesus rebukes the Sadducees because they are mistaken about God's law. This may be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "You are mistaken because ... power of God." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# you do not know the scriptures

This means that they do not understand what is written in the Old Testament scriptures.

# the power of God
