Matthew 22:28
22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.” 1
Matthew 22:30-31
22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels 2 in heaven.
22:31 Now as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, 3
Matthew 27:53
27:53 (They 4 came out of the tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.)
1 tn Grk “For all had her.”
2 tc Most witnesses have “of God” after “angels,” although some mss read ἄγγελοι θεοῦ (angeloi qeou; א L Ë13 {28} 33 892 1241 1424 al) while others have ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ (angeloi tou qeou; W 0102 0161 Ï). Whether with or without the article, the reading “of God” appears to be motivated as a natural expansion. A few important witnesses lack the adjunct (B D Θ {0233} Ë1 700 {sa}); this coupled with strong internal evidence argues for the shorter reading.
sn Angels do not die, nor do they eat according to Jewish tradition (1 En. 15:6; 51:4; Wis 5:5; 2 Bar. 51:10; 1QH 3.21-23).
3 tn Grk “spoken to you by God, saying.” The participle λέγοντος (legontos) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
4 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
