23
On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24
saying, "Teacher, Moses said, `If a man dies, having no children, his brother will marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.`
25
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.
26
In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27
After them all, the woman died.
28
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."
29
But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God`s angels in heaven.
31
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven`t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32
`I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?` God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
