²⁴“Teacher,” they said, “here is what Moses told us. If a man dies without having children, his brother must get married to the widow. He must have children to carry on his brother’s name. ²⁵There were seven brothers among us. The first one got married and died. Since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶The same thing happened to the second and third brothers. It happened right on down to the seventh brother. ²⁷Finally, the woman died. ²⁸Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her.”

²⁹Jesus replied, “You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God. ³⁰When the dead rise, they won’t get married. And their parents won’t give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.

³¹“What about the dead rising? Haven’t you read what God said to you? ³²He said, ‘I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.’ He is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living.”

³³When the crowds heard this, they were amazed by what he taught.
