18 Then the Saducees, who deny the resurrection, came and asked him, 19 saying, master, Moses has left it us in writing, that if a man dies, and leaves his wife without any children, his brother should marry his widow, in order to perpetuate his name. 20 now there were seven brothers: the first married a wife and died, leaving her without any children. 21 the second married her, and he died too without leaving her any children: the third did the same. 22 so that all the seven married her, but left no children, last of all she died. 23 at the time therefore of the resurrection, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of the seven? 24 for they all married her. Jesus answered them, don't you see you are in a mistake, by being unacquainted with the scriptures, as well as with the power of God? 25 for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither will marry, nor be given in marriage, but be immortal like the angels in heaven. 26 and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" 27 he is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: and therefore you greatly mistake the meaning.
