12:18-27 This is the third controversy story of the series begun in 11:27. As in most New Testament references to the Sadducees, the setting is the Temple (Matt 22:23-33 // Luke 20:27-40; Acts 4:1-3; 5:12, 17; 22:30–23:10; the exceptions are Matt 3:7; 16:1-12).
• The Sadducees’ question (Mark 12:19-23) was carefully crafted and based on a commandment of Moses (Deut 25:5-6; see Gen 38:6-11; Ruth 4:1-22). Since all seven men could not have the woman as wife in the resurrection, and since none of them had a special claim, the Sadducees thought that they had proven the absurdity of the doctrine of the resurrection and refuted the Pharisees and Jesus (cp. Matt 12:41-42; Luke 16:19-31; see also Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ δεύτερος
the second
The Sadducees are using the number second as a noun to mean the second brother. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the next brother” or “the second oldest brother”
Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ δεύτερος
the second
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “brother number two”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἔλαβεν αὐτήν
took her
Here, the phrase took her indicates that the man married his brother’s widow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “got married to her” or “married her”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σπέρμα
seed
Here, the Sadducees are speaking of offspring as if they were seed. See how you translated the similar use of this word in 12:19. Alternate translation: “offspring”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ὁ τρίτος ὡσαύτως
and the and and the third likewise
The Sadducees are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and the third likewise took her and died, not having left seed” or “and the third likewise experienced the same things”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ τρίτος
the the third
The Sadducees are using the number third as a noun to mean the third brother. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the next brother” or “the third oldest brother”
Note 7 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ τρίτος
the the third
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “brother number three”
