Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει, ὅταν ἀναστῶσιν
in the resurrection (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)
The terms resurrection and rise again mean similar things. The Sadducees are using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “When they rise again” or “In the resurrection”
ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει
in the resurrection
The Sadducees did not actually believe that there would be a resurrection. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: “In the supposed resurrection” or “If there is a resurrection”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει
in the resurrection
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “When people resurrect”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀναστῶσιν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)
Here, the phrase rise again refers to people who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will be restored to life” or “they will resurrect”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
ἀναστῶσιν
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)
Here, the pronoun they refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers generally to people. Alternate translation: “men and women rise again”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a reason why the Sadducees ask their question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a question, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “We ask this question because” or “This is a problem, since”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ & ἑπτὰ
the & seven
The Sadducees are using the number seven as a noun to mean the seven brothers. See how you expressed the idea in 12:22. Alternate translation: “all seven of the brothers”
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).
OET (OET-LV) In the resurrection, of_which of_them will_be_she the_wife?
For/Because the seven had her as_a_wife.
OET (OET-RV) Now, at the resurrection of the dead, which brother will she be the wife of, because at some point, she was married to each of the seven of them?”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
