Matthew 22:23-33
Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
23The same day aSadducees came to him, bwho say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, c‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27After them all, the woman died. 28In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”29But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, dbecause you know neither the Scriptures nor ethe power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither fmarry nor gare given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31And as for the resurrection of the dead, hhave you not read what was said to you by God: 32 i‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33And when the crowd heard it, jthey were astonished at his teaching.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
27There came to him ksome Sadducees, lthose who deny that there is a resurrection, 28and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us mthat if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man ▼▼Greek his brother
must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30And the second 31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32Afterward the woman also died. 33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” 34And Jesus said to them, o“The sons of this age pmarry and qare given in marriage, 35but those who are rconsidered worthy to attain to sthat age and to the resurrection from the dead tneither marry unor are given in marriage, 36for vthey cannot die anymore, because they are wequal to angels and xare ysons of God, being zsons ▼

of the resurrection. 37But that the dead are raised, abeven Moses showed, in acthe passage about the bush, where he calls adthe Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all aelive to him.” 39Then some of the scribes afanswered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40For agthey no longer dared to ask him any question.
