Mark 12: 18 - 27
|
| 18 | And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, |
| 19 | "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. |
| 20 | There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children; |
| 21 | and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise; |
| 22 | and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died. |
| 23 | In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." |
| 24 | Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God? |
| 25 | For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. |
| 26 | And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? |
| 27 | He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong." |
