Mark 12: 18 - 27

| 18
|
And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,
|
| 19
|
"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.
|
| 20
|
There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children;
|
| 21
|
and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise;
|
| 22
|
and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
|
| 23
|
In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."
|
| 24
|
Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?
|
| 25
|
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
|
| 26
|
And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
|
| 27
|
He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong."
