The Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
18And(A) Sadducees came to him,(B) who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that(C) if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man[a] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."24Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are wrong, because(D) you know neither the Scriptures nor(E) the power of God? 25For when they rise from the dead, they neither(F) marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26And as for the dead being raised,(G) have you not read in(H) the book of Moses, in(I) the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying,(J) 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? 27He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong."
