Then some Sadducees, who assert that there is no resurrection, approached HIM and posed this question, "TEACHER, Moses wrote down for us that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, the man shall take his brother's wife and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first brother took a wife and died, leaving no children. The second brother married the widow and died, leaving no children. The same was true of the third brother. None of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman herself died. Now at the resurrection, when they rise up, whose wife will she be, inasmuch as all seven had her?" JESUS said to them, "Is not this the reason you are in error--namely, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of GOD? For when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. They are like angels in heaven.
"And in regard to the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account about the bush, 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 the dead but of the living. You are very badly mistaken."
