Mark 12:18–27

¹⁸And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying, ¹⁹Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one’s brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed; ²¹and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise. ²²And the seven took her and did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died. ²³In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife? ²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵For when they rise from among the dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels who are in the heavens. ²⁶But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the section of the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye therefore greatly err.
