- 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.
|
- That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
- "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
- Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
- The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
- Finally, the woman died.

- 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.
|
- Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
- Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
- At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
- But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you,
- 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
|
- And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
|
- When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
