18 Then come the sadducees to Him, who say there is no resurrection; 19 and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died and left no seed; 21 and the second took her, and died, and he left no seed neither; and the third likewise. 22 And all the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all died the woman also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they rise again, whose wife shall be of them; for all the seven had her to wife? 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore 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 as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, 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: therefore ye do greatly mistake.
