Mark 12:18-27 ▼

18 And there come to Him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they were asking Him, saying,

19 "Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If any man's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.'

20 There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife; and, dying, left no seed.

21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no seed; and the third likewise.

22 And the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her as a wife."

24 Jesus said to them, " Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

25 For, when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels in Heaven.

26 But, concerning the dead, that they are raised, did ye not read in the book of Moses, at the 'Bush,' how God spake to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err."
