28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

29 Jesus replied, You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the deadhave you not read what God said to you, 32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

28 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.”

29 Jesus replied, Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God. 30 For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.

31 But now, as to whether there will be a resurrection of the deadhaven’t you ever read about this in the Scriptures? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said, 32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So he is the God of the living, not the dead.”

God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

They will be like the angels in heaven. 31 Surely you have read what God said to you about rising from the dead. 32 God said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ God is the God of the living, not the dead.”

Matthew 22:28–32 — American Standard Version (ASV)

He said, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ He’s not the God of the dead but of the living.”
