Matthew 22:23-33

23 A Question about the Resurrection Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40That same day some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. him} and asked him,Mark 12:18; Luke 20:27; Acts 23:8 24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for his brother.’ ^{▼▼Deut 25:5-6}Deut 25:5 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother. 26 The same thing happened with the second brother, and then the third, and finally with the rest of the brothers. ^{▼▼Lit. with the seven} 27 Finally, the woman died, too. 28 Now in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be, since all of them had married ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks married} her?”

29 Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.John 20:9 30 For in the resurrection, people ^{▼▼Lit. they} neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels ^{▼▼Other mss. read God's angels} in heaven.1John 3:2 31 As for the resurrection from the dead, haven't you read what was spoken to you by God when he said, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? ^{▼▼Exod 3:6} He ^{▼▼Other mss. read God} is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”Exod 3:6, 16; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37; Acts 7:32; Heb 11:16

33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.Matt 7:28

Mark 12:18-27

18 A Question about the Resurrection Matthew 22:23-33; Luke 20:27-40Then some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. him} and asked him,Matt 22:23; Luke 20:27; Acts 23:8 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, he should marry the widow and have children for his brother. ^{▼▼Deut 25:5-6}Deut 25:5 20 There were seven brothers. The first one married and died without having children. 21 Then the second married her and died without having children, and so did the third. 22 None of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died, too. 23 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?” ^{▼▼Lit. had her as wife}

24 Jesus said to them, “Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power? 25 For when people ^{▼▼Lit. they} rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.1Cor 15:42, 49, 52 26 As for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush, how God said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? ^{▼▼Exod 3:6}Exod 3:6 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
