Mark 12:18-27

181Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying, 19“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that 2if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and leaves no child, his brother should 3marry the wife and raise up children to his brother. 20There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children. 21The second one 4married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise; 22and so 5all seven left no children. Last of all the woman died also. 23In the resurrection, 6when they rise again, which one’s wife will she be? For 7all seven had married her.” 24Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not 8understand the Scriptures or the power of God? 25For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26But 9regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, 10in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘11I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 2712He is not the God 13of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”
