*
The same day Sad '
ducees came to him ,
who say that there is no resurrection ;
and they asked him a question ,
*
saying , "
Teacher ,
Moses said , `
If a man dies ,
having no children ,
his brother must marry the widow ,
and raise up children for his brother .'
*
Now there were seven brothers among us ;
the first married ,
and died ,
and having no children left his wife to his brother .
*
So too the second and third ,
down to the seventh .
*
After them all ,
the woman died .
*
In the resurrection ,
therefore ,
to which of the seven will she be wife ?
For they all had her ."
*
But Jesus answered them , "
You are wrong ,
because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God .
*
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage ,
but are like angels in heaven .
*
And as for the resurrection of the dead ,
have you not read what was said to you by God ,
* `
I am the God of Abraham ,
and the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob '?
He is not God of the dead ,
but of the living ."
*
And when the crowd heard it ,
they were astonished at his teaching .
