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 / ellipsis

οὐκ ἔστιν Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων

not is God ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “God is not a God of the dead, but he is a God of the living”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔστιν Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων

not is God ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living

Here Jesus implies that, although Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had already died by the time God spoke these words, God still called himself their God. Since God is not a God of the dead, but of the living, this means that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must be alive again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “God is not of the dead, but of the living, so Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must live again after they died”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐκ & Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων

not & God ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living

If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two phrases here. Alternate translation: “a God of the living, not of the dead”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων

˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe the God whom the living, not the dead, worship. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “honored by the dead, but by the living”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκρῶν & ζώντων

˱of˲_/the/_dead & ˱of˲_/the/_living

Jesus is using the adjectives dead and living as nouns to mean people who are dead and living. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “of dead people … of living people”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πολὺ πλανᾶσθε

much ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is they themselves. Alternate translation: “You are misunderstanding much” or “You are deceiving yourselves much”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

πολὺ πλανᾶσθε

much ˱you_all˲_/are_being/_strayed

Because Jesus is speaking to the Sadducees, the word You here is plural.
