Albert Barnes Commentary
"For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven." — Mark 12:25 (ASV)
Are as the angels. That is, as the angels in respect to connections and relations. What that may be, we do not know; but this passage teaches that the peculiar 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.
