This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When they shall rise from the dead (hotan ek nekrōn anastōsin). Second aorist active subjunctive with hotan (hote plus an). Mat 22:30 has it “in the resurrection,” Luk 20:35 “to attain to the resurrection.” The Pharisees regarded the future resurrection body as performing marriage functions, as Mohammedans do today. The Pharisees were in error on this point. The Sadducees made this one of their objections to belief in the resurrection body, revealing thus their own ignorance of the true resurrection body and the future life where marriage functions do not exist.
As angels in heaven (hōs aggeloi en tōi ouranōi). So Mat 22:30. Luk 20:36 has “equal unto the angels” (isaggeloi). “Their equality with angels consists in their deliverance from mortality and its consequences” (Swete). The angels are directly created, not procreated.
