Luke 20:27-39

27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him:

28“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.

29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.

30Also the second

31and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.

32Finally, the woman died too.

33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”

34Jesus told them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

36For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.

37Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

38He is not the God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to him.”

39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
