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 Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) & they asked him, saying, 19 Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother. 20 There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue. 21 Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, & the third likewise: 22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also. 23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife. 24 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen. 26 And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? 27 God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.

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.
