THE MESSAGE
Some Sadducees, the party that denies any possibility of resurrection, came up and asked, "Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to marry the widow and have children. Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless. The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third. All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died. When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."

Contextual Overview
18 And there come Sadducees unto him, - who, indeed say - Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying - 19 Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that - If one's brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, - 21 And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, - and, the third, likewise, - 22 And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: - 23 In the resurrection, - of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife. 24 Jesus said unto them - Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens. 26 But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, - Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying - I am the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: - 27 He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then came unto him the Sadducees,.... The same day, immediately after he had silenced the Pharisees and Herodians: these were a set of men distinct from the former, in some of their sentiments, especially in their religions ones, and particularly in the following:
which say there is no resurrection: of the dead, in a literal sense, either general or particular; :-;
and they asked him, saying; as in the next verse.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 18. See this question, concerning the resurrection, explained in detail on Matthew 22:23-32.
