Contextual Overview

27 And some of the Sadducees coming up, those speaking against a resurrection, that it was not to be, they questioned Him, 28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If anyone's brother dies having a wife, and this one should die childless, that his brother should take the wife and raise up seed to his brother. Deut. 25:5 29 Then there were seven brothers. And having taken a wife, the first died childless. 30 And the second took the wife, and this one died childless. 31 And the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children, and died. 32 And last of all the woman died. 33 Then in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife. 34 And answering, Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 For they are not able to die any more; they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

even: Exodus 3:2-6, Deuteronomy 33:16, Acts 7:30-32

when: There is a remarkable passage in Josephus, which proves that the best informed among the Jews believed in the immateriality and immortality of the soul, and that the souls of righteous men were in the presence of God in a state of happiness. "They who lose their lives for the sake of God, live unto God, as do Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the rest of the patriarchs." Not less remarkable is a passage in Shemoth Rabba, "Why doth Moses say - Exodus 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? R. Abin saith, The Lord said unto Moses, I look for ten men from thee, as I looked for that number in Sodom. Find me out ten righteous persons among the people, and I will not destroy thy people. Then saith Moses, Behold, here am I, and Aaron, Eleazar, and Ithamar, Phinehas, and Caleb, and Joshua; but, saith God, there are but seven: where are the other three? When Moses knew not what to do, he saith, O Eternal God, חיים הם המתים, do those live who are dead? Yes, saith God. Then saith Moses, If those that are dead do live, remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Genesis 17:7, Genesis 28:13, Genesis 28:21, Genesis 32:9, Matthew 22:3-33, Mark 12:26, Mark 12:27

Reciprocal: Exodus 3:6 - I am Matthew 22:32 - God is Hebrews 6:12 - inherit Hebrews 11:16 - to be

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now that the dead are raised,.... Or that there will be a resurrection of the dead, this is a proof of it:

even Moses showed at the bush: when the Lord appeared to him out of it, and he saw it burning with fire, and not consumed; when the Lord called to him out of it by the following name, as he has recorded it in Exodus 3:6. Hence it is said,

when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; for though the Lord called himself so, yet Moses likewise calls him by these names, when he gives an account of this affair, and when he went from him to the children Israel; Exodus 3:6- :.
