²³In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying, ²⁴‘Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.

²⁵‘And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother; ²⁶in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh, ²⁷and last of all died also the woman; ²⁸therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife—for all had her?’ ²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, ‘Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God; ³⁰for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

³¹‘And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, ³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.’ ³³And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching.
