Mark 12:25

25 For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.

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 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.”
24 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.
25 For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.
26 “But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—haven’t you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
27 So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error.”
