*
Some of the Sadducees came to Jesus .
They say that people do not rise from death .
They asked Jesus a question .
*
Teacher ,
they said ,
Moses gave us this law :
if a man dies and leaves a wife but no children ,
then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother .
*
There were seven brothers .
The first one married .
He died and left no child .
*
e second brother married the wife .
He also died and left no child .
It was the same with the third one .
*
All seven brothers married her .
They all had no children .
Last of all the woman died also .
*
Now then when people rise from death ,
whose wife will she be ?
All seven of them had married her .
*
Jesus said to them ,
You are wrong !
You do not know what the holy writings say .
And you do not know what power God has .
*
When people rise from death ,
men and women do not marry .
But they are like angels in heaven .
*
People do rise from death !
Have you never read what Moses wrote ?
It is in the place where we read about the small tree which burned .
Moses tells how God said to him , "
I am the God of Abraham ,
the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob ."
*
He is not the God of dead people ,
but of living people .
The way you look at things is wrong altogether .
