Matthew 22:23-34

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, cIf 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 iI 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.
