TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν; καὶ ὁ πρῶτος

seven brothers ˱there˲_were and the first

Here the Sadducees use an imaginary situation to set up a question they want to ask Jesus. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “Now imagine a family with seven brothers. The first”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ πρῶτος

the first

The Sadducees are using the number first as a noun to mean the first brother. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the first brother” or “the oldest brother”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

ὁ πρῶτος

the first

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “brother number one”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα

took /a/_wife

Here, the phrase took a wife indicates that the man got married. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “got married” or “married someone”

Note 5 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”
