Contextual Overview
18Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him: 19“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife behind but no child, that man should take the wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20There were seven brothers. The first married a woman, and dying, left no offspring. 21The second also took her, and he died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22None of the seven left offspring. Last of all, the woman died too. 23In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?” 24Jesus spoke to them, “Isn’t this the reason why you’re mistaken: you don’t know the Scriptures 25For when they rise 26And as for the dead being raised—haven’t you read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to him: I27He is not the God of the dead but of the living. You are badly mistaken.”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as touching the dead, that they rise,.... For the proof of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead,
have ye not read in the book of Moses; that is, in the law of Moses; for though it was divided into five parts, it was but one book; just as the Psalms are called the Book of Psalms, Acts 1:20, and the Prophets, the Book of the Prophets, Acts 7:42. The book of Exodus is particularly intended; for the passage referred to is in Exodus 3:6,
how in the bush God spake unto him, or "out of the bush", as the Syriac and Persic versions read;
saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Exodus 3:6- :,
Exodus 3:6- :.
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 âmarriageâ 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, âin 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 âby the subject,â and in this way it was often done by the Jews.
