Mark 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:25

For when they shall rise from the dead
These seven brethren, and the woman; and so any, and every other:

they neither marry, nor are given marriage:
there will be no such natural relation subsisting, nor any need of any:

but are as the angels which are in heaven; (See Gill on Matthew 22:30).

Mark 12:25 In-Context

23 In the resurrection, when they rise, {whose} wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife.
24 Jesus said to them, "Are you not deceived because of this, [because you] do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26 Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses {in the passage about the bush} how God spoke to him, saying, 'I [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?
27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!"
