tcent - Mark:12:18-27

tcent@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him; and they asked him a question, saying:

tcent@Mark:12:19 @ »Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a mans brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

tcent@Mark:12:20 @ Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children.

tcent@Mark:12:21 @ And the second took her, and he died; leaving behind no children. And the third likewise.

tcent@Mark:12:22 @ So the seven had her and left no children. Last of all the woman died also.

tcent@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.«

tcent@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, »Is not this why you are wrong, that you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

tcent@Mark:12:25 @ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

tcent@Mark:12:26 @ 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?

tcent@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.«
