* The same day came to him the Sadducees , which say that there is no resurrection , and asked him , * Saying , Master , Moses said , If a man die , having no children , his brother shall marry his wife , and raise up seed unto his brother . * Now there were with us seven brethren : and the first , when he had married a wife , deceased , and , having no issue , left his wife unto his brother : * Likewise the second also , and the third , unto the seventh . * And last of all the woman died also . * Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven ? for they all had her . * Jesus answered and said unto them , Ye do err , not knowing the scriptures , nor the power of God . * For in the resurrection they neither marry , nor are given in marriage , but are as the angels of God in heaven . * But as touching the resurrection of the dead , have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God , saying , * I am the God of Abraham , and the God of Isaac , and the God of Jacob ? God is not the God of the dead , but of the living . * And when the multitude heard this , they were astonished at his doctrine . * But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence , they were gathered together . * Then one of them , which was a lawyer , asked him a question , tempting him , and saying , * Master , which is the great commandment in the law ? * Jesus said unto him , Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart , and with all thy soul , and with all thy mind . * This is the first and great commandment . * And the second is like unto it , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself . * On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets . * While the Pharisees were gathered together , Jesus asked them , * Saying , What think ye of Christ ? whose son is he ? They say unto him , The Son of David . * He saith unto them , How then doth David in spirit call him Lord , saying , * The LORD said unto my Lord , Sit thou on my right hand , till I make thine enemies thy footstool ? * If David then call him Lord , how is he his son ? * And no man was able to answer him a word , neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions .
