Mark 12:25

25 After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.

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 When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."
24 Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works.
25 After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.
26 And regarding the dead, whether or not they are raised, don't you ever read the Bible? How God at the bush said to Moses, 'I am - not was - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
27 The living God is God of the living, not the dead. You're way, way off base."
