Matthew:22:23-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The same day the Sadducees ,
who say there is no resurrection ,
came to Him and asked Him ,
*
saying : "
Teacher ,
Moses said that if a man dies ,
having no children ,
his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother .
*
Now there were with us seven brothers .
The first died after he had married ,
and having no offspring ,
left his wife to his brother .
*
Likewise the second also ,
and the third ,
even to the seventh .
*
Last of all the woman died also .
*
Therefore ,
in the resurrection ,
whose wife of the seven will she be ?
For they all had her ."
*
Jesus answered and said to them , "
You are mistaken ,
not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God .
*
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage ,
but are like angels of God in heaven .
*
But concerning the resurrection of the dead ,
have you not read what was spoken to you by God ,
saying ,
* "
I am the God of Abraham ,
the God of Isaac ,
and the God of Jacob '?
God is not the God of the dead ,
but of the living ."
*
And when the multitudes heard this ,
they were astonished at His teaching .
