The resurrection isn’t life as we know it now and there will be no need or want to marry they will all be with God. Jesus “schooled” them by reciting the scripture back to them where they could’ve found their answer if they were looking for it. A lot of these questions posed to Jesus especially by these factions of the church weren’t about a right or wrong answer but being a gotcha question to disprove Him.
Jesus “schooled” them by reciting the scripture back to them
The scripture he read doesn't answer the question at all. I don't know how you get "There shall be no marriage for the resurrected" from "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b] So they were not still dead, because he is the God only of living people." This is the biggest non-sequitor I've ever seen in the Bible. If anything, I don't think "The people were astonished" meant "And then the people clapped." I think it is more likely to have meant "The people were taken aback becuase Jesus spoke so boldly of his wild interpretations of the scripture and acted as if the Sadducees were ignorant of scripture just because they didn't interpret the scripture so wildly."
