Is There a Resurrection?

27 ^aNow some of the ^bSadducees (who maintain that there is no resurrection) came to Him, 28 and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that ^cif ^{▼▼Lit someone’s brother}a man’s brother dies, ^{▼▼Lit having}leaving a wife, and he is childless, that his brother is to ^{▼▼Lit take}marry the wife and raise up children ^{▼▼I.e., as his brother’s heir}for his brother. 29 So then, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless; 30 and the second 31 and the third ^{▼▼Lit took}married her; and in the same way ^{▼▼Lit the seven also}all seven ^{▼▼Lit left no children, and died}died, leaving no children. 32 Finally the woman also died. 33 Therefore, in the resurrection, ^{▼▼Lit of which of them}which one’s wife does the woman become? For ^{▼▼Lit the seven}all seven ^{▼▼Lit had her as wife}married her.”

34 Jesus said to them, “The sons of ⁿthis age marry and the women are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to ^othat age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are ^psons of God, being ^{▼▼I.e., participants in}sons of the resurrection. 37 But as for the fact that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed this in ^rthe passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord ^sthe God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 ^tNow He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for ^uall live to Him.”
