In the resurrection
This phrase refers to the future event when the dead will be raised to life. The concept of resurrection is central to Christian eschatology and is affirmed throughout the New Testament (e.g.,1 Corinthians 15:12-22). The resurrection is a time when believers will receive glorified bodies, as described inPhilippians 3:21. This belief is rooted in Jewish tradition, particularly among the Pharisees, who contrasted with the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection (Acts 23:8).

people will neither marry nor be given in marriage
In the context of the resurrection, earthly institutions such as marriage will no longer apply. This reflects a transformation of relationships in the eternal state, where the need for procreation and earthly family structures is transcended. The cultural context of Jesus' time placed significant importance on marriage for social and economic stability, as well as for the continuation of family lineage. However, in the resurrection, the focus shifts to a direct relationship with God, as seen inRevelation 21:3-4, where God dwells with His people.

Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven
This comparison to angels highlights the spiritual nature of resurrected life. Angels, as spiritual beings, do not marry or reproduce, emphasizing the idea that resurrected life is fundamentally different from earthly existence. This does not imply that humans become angels, but rather that they share in the immortality and spiritual focus of angels. The reference to angels also serves to counter the Sadducees' disbelief in both angels and the resurrection (Acts 23:8), affirming the reality of both. Theologically, this points to a restored relationship with God, akin to the pre-fall state of humanity, where the primary focus is on worship and communion with God, as seen in passages likeHebrews 12:22-23.

The resurrection transforms our earthly existence into a heavenly one, where earthly institutions like marriage are no longer necessary.

Eternal Perspective

The Role of Marriage
Marriage is a sacred institution for this life, reflecting God's design for companionship and procreation, but it is not part of the eternal state.

Living as Citizens of Heaven
Christians are encouraged to live with the mindset of their heavenly citizenship, prioritizing spiritual growth and eternal relationships.

• Jesus places the scene after God raises His people bodily (John 5:28-29;1 Thessalonians 4:16).

• Resurrection life is real, physical, and everlasting—“it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:44).

• The Sadducees denied this doctrine (Matthew 22:23), so Jesus anchors His answer in the certainty of resurrection (Daniel 12:2).

---

Will neither marry

• Earthly marriage, designed by God inGenesis 2:24, serves purposes of companionship, procreation, and picturing Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:31-32).

• In the perfected age those purposes are fulfilled; therefore, “the time is short…those who have wives should live as if they had none” (1 Corinthians 7:29-31) because marriage belongs to the present order “that is passing away.”

• No new marital unions will form because human families will have reached their intended completion (Revelation 7:9-10).

---

Nor be given in marriage

• Jewish culture distinguished a man who “marries” from a woman who “is given in marriage.” Jesus covers both sides to show that all wedding ceremonies cease (Mark 12:25;Luke 20:34-35).

• The bride imagery culminates in “the marriage of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:7-9). Once Christ and His church are eternally united, the symbol gives way to the reality.

---

Like the angels in heaven

• “They can no longer die, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God” (Luke 20:36). Immortality, not loss of identity, is the comparison.

• Angels live fully devoted to God’s worship and service (Isaiah 6:2-3;Hebrews 1:14). Likewise, resurrected believers will enjoy undistracted fellowship with the Lord (Psalm 16:11).

• Our glorified bodies will be transformed “to be like His glorious body” (Philippians 3:21), free from decay and the need for procreation (1 Corinthians 15:53-54).

summary

Matthew 22:30 teaches that the resurrection ushers believers into an immortal, glorified existence where earthly institutions like marriage are no longer necessary. God’s family will be complete, His people fully satisfied in unhindered fellowship with Him, living like the angels—incorruptible, undying, and wholly devoted to the praise of their Savior.

(30)Theyneither marry, nor are given in marriage.--In St. Luke's report (Luke 20:34-35) our Lord emphasises the contrast in this respect between the children of this world and the children of the resurrection. His words teach absolutely the absence from the resurrection life of the definite relations on which marriage rests in this, and they suggest an answer to the yearning questions which rise up in our minds as we ponder on the things behind the veil. Will there, we ask, be no continuance there of the holiest of the ties of earth? Will the husband and the wife, who have loved each other until death parted them, be no more to each other than any others who are counted worthy to obtain that life? Will there be no individual recognition, no continuance of the love founded upon the memories of the past? The answer to all such questionings is found in dwelling on the "power of God." The old relations may subsist under new conditions. Things that are incompatible here may there be found to co-exist. The saintly wife of two saintly husbands may love both with an angelic, and therefore a pure and unimpaired affection. The contrast between our Lord's teaching and the sensual paradise of Mahomet, or Swedenborg's dream of the marriage state perpetuated under its earthly conditions, is so obvious as hardly to call for notice.

Verse 30. -For. The Lord proceeds first to show the power of God as displayed in the resurrection. The Sadducees would limit and control this power by conceiving that it could not change the qualities of the body or alter the conditions and relations of the human consciousness.In the resurrection (see on ver. 28).Marry; as men.Are given in marriage; as women. Marriage is an earthly relationship, and can have no place in a spiritual condition. All that is of the earth, all that is carnal and gross, all human passions, all that is connected with sin and corruption, shall pass away. The risen life is no mere reproduction of the present, but a regeneration, new life added to the old, with new powers, acting under new laws, ranged in a new community. On earth men are mortal, and marriage is necessary to perpetuate the race; no such necessity obtains in the other life, where men are immortal. As an old Father says, "Where the law of death is abolished, the cause of birth is abolished likewise."Are as the angels of God in heaven;i.e. as the angels who dwell in heaven. The words,τοῦ Θεοῦ,of God, are omitted by some manuscripts and editors. The Vulgate has,angeli Dei in coelo. Thus Christ, in opposition to the Saddueces' creed, admits the existence of angels. Glorified men are like the angels in these characteristics especially. They are immortal, no longer subject to human wants, passions, failings, or temptations; they serve God perfectly without weariness or distraction; they have no conflict between flesh and spirit, between the old nature and the new; their life is peaceful, harmonious, satisfying. Our Lord says nothing here concerning mutual recognition in the future state; nothing about the continuance of those tender relations which he sanctions and blesses on earth, and in the absence of which we cannot imagine perfect happiness existing. Analogy supplies some answer to such questions, but they are foreign to Christ's statement, and need not be here discussed.
