Commentary of the Gospell
Where is the Woman’s Voice?
On the hypothetical case (which was not hypothetical at all, given the then practice) that the Pharisees brought before Jesus to debate the issue of the resurrection, there is one element missing: Where is the voice of the woman in the story? Whereas the law mandated that the woman be married to the dead husband’s brothers one after the other, we do not find any provision for listening to the woman’s voice, how she felt about the successive deaths of her husbands, and if she wished to continue the practice. It is as if she were a dead entity already with no resurrection in sight. We need to apply what Jesus says today – that God is God of the living – to life after death as well as to life before death, to breathe life into those silenced by the society.
