Luke:20:27-38

*
And some of the Sadducees having approached ,
those who say there is no resurrection ,
they questioned him ,
*
saying ,
Teacher ,
Moses wrote to us ,
if any brother dies ,
having a wife ,
and this man dies childless ,
that his brother should take his wife ,
and raise up seed to his brother .
*
There were therefore seven brothers .
And the first having taken a wife ,
died childless .
*
And the second took the woman ,
and this man died childless .
*
And the third likewise took her ,
and likewise also the seven ;
they left behind no children ,
and died .
*
And last of all the woman also died .
*
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become ?
For the seven had her as wife .
*
And having answered ,
Jesus said to them ,
The sons of this age marry ,
and are given in marriage ,
*
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age ,
and the resurrection from the dead ,
neither marry ,
nor are given in marriage .
*
For neither can they die any more ,
for they are like the heavenly agents ,
and are sons of God ,
being sons of the resurrection .
*
But that the dead are raised ,
even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls Lord ,
the God of Abraham ,
and the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob .
*
Now he is not God of the dead ,
but of the living ,
for all live to him .
