Contextual Overview

18 Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said: 19 Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother. 20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner. 22 And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her. 24 Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the seventh had her, and left no seed,.... All, the seven brethren married her, one after another, and neither of them had any children by her:

and last of all the woman died also; after all the seven brethren, to whom she had been married.

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.
