Matthew 22:23-33

23On that day some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection [of the dead], came to Him and asked Him a question,

24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, leaving no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his widow, and raise children for his brother.’

25Now there were seven brothers among us; the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother.

26The second also [died childless], and the third, down to the seventh.

27Last of all, the woman died.

28So in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”

29But Jesus replied to them, “You are all wrong because you know neither the Scriptures [which teach the resurrection] nor the power of God [for He is able to raise the dead].

30For in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven [who do not marry nor produce children].

31But as to the resurrection of the dead—have you not read [in the Scripture] what God said to you:

32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
