Luke:20:27-40

*
Then some of the Sadducees ,
who deny that there is a resurrection ,
came to Him and asked Him ,
*
saying : "
Teacher ,
Moses wrote to us that if a man '
s brother dies ,
having a wife ,
and he dies without children ,
his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother .
*
Now there were seven brothers .
And the first took a wife ,
and died without children .
*
And the second took her as wife ,
and he died childless .
*
Then the third took her ,
and in like manner the seven also ;
and they left no children ,
and died .
*
Last of all the woman died also .
*
Therefore ,
in the resurrection ,
whose wife does she become ?
For all seven had her as wife ."
*
Jesus answered and said to them , "
The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage .
*
But those who are counted worthy to attain that age ,
and the resurrection from the dead ,
neither marry nor are given in marriage ;
*
nor can they die anymore ,
for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God ,
being sons of the resurrection .
*
But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised ,
when he called the Lord "
the God of Abraham ,
the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob .'
*
For He is not the God of the dead but of the living ,
for all live to Him ."
*
Then some of the scribes answered and said , "
Teacher ,
You have spoken well ."
*
But after that they dared not question Him anymore .
