Matthew 22:30 Context
28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for they all had her. 29Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Yee doe erre, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are giuen in marriage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen. 31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read that which was spoken vnto you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 22:30
Mt 22:30 Are as the angels of God. The physical relations of earthly marriage do not belong to spiritual beings. The saints when raised are like the angels. This does not deny personal intercourse or spiritual relationships, but the existence of fleshly ties.
