Contextual Overview

18 Then some Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him a question. (Sadducees believed that people would not rise from the dead.) 19 They said, "Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, then that man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. 20 Once there were seven brothers. The first brother married and died, leaving no children. 21 So the second brother married the widow, but he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother. 22 All seven brothers married her and died, and none of the brothers had any children. Finally the woman died too. 23 Since all seven brothers had married her, when people rise from the dead, whose wife will she be?" 24 Jesus answered, "Why don't you understand? Don't you know what the Scriptures say, and don't you know about the power of God? 25 When people rise from the dead, they will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 26 Surely you have read what God said about people rising from the dead. In the book in which Moses wrote about the burning bush, it says that God told Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' 27 God is the God of the living, not the dead. You Sadducees are wrong!"

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Do: As the five books of Moses were the only scriptures which the Sadducees admitted as Divine, our Lord confutes them by an appeal to these books, and proves that they were ignorant of those very writings which they professed to hold sacred. He not only rectified their opinions, but so explained the doctrine as to overthrow the erroneous decision of the Pharisees, that if two brothers married one woman, she should be restored at the resurrection to the first. Isaiah 8:20, Jeremiah 8:7-9, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 8:12, Matthew 22:29, John 5:39, John 20:9, Acts 17:11, Romans 15:4, 2 Timothy 3:15-17

because: Job 19:25-27, Isaiah 25:8, Isaiah 26:19, Ezekiel 37:1-14, Daniel 12:2, Hosea 6:2, Hosea 13:14

neither: Mark 10:27, Genesis 18:14, Jeremiah 32:17, Luke 1:37, Ephesians 1:19, Philippians 3:21

Reciprocal: Matthew 22:30 - in the Mark 12:27 - ye Luke 20:35 - neither 1 Corinthians 15:43 - in power 2 Timothy 3:16 - All James 1:16 - Do

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus answering said unto them,.... Which they thought he was not able to do, but would have been silenced at once by them, as many of their antagonists had been:

do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God? what is expressed in Matthew affirmatively, is here put by way of interrogation, which, with the Jews, was a more vehement way of affirming; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage fully explained in the notes at Matthew 22:23-33.

Mark 12:25

Are as the angels - That is, as the angels in respect to connections and relations. What those connections and relations may be we know not, but this passage teaches that the special relation of “marriage” will not exist. It does not affirm, however, that there will be no recollection of former marriages, or no recognition of each other as having existed in this tender relation.

Mark 12:26

How in the bush - At the burning bush. See Exodus 3:16. The meaning is, “in that part of the book of Exodus which contains the account of the burning bush. When there were no chapters and verses, it was the easiest way of quoting a book of the Old Testament “by the subject,” and in this way it was often done by the Jews.
