Matthew:22:23-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That day there came to him the Sadducees ,
who say there is no resurrection ;
and asked him ,
*
Saying :
Master ,
Moses said :
If a man die having no son ,
his brother shall marry his wife ,
and raise up issue to his brother .
*
Now there were with us seven brethren :
and the first having married a wife ,
died ;
and not having issue ,
left his wife to his brother .
*
In like manner the second ,
and the third ,
and so on to the seventh .
*
And last of all the woman died also .
*
At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be ?
for they all had her .
*
And Jesus answering ,
said to them :
You err ,
not knowing the Scriptures ,
nor the power of God .
*
For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married ;
but shall be as the angels of God in heaven .
*
And concerning the resurrection of the dead ,
have you not read that which was spoken by God ,
saying to you :
*
I am the God of Abraham ,
and the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob ?
He is not the God of the dead ,
but of the living .
