Mark 12:18-27

181Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to 2Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying, 19“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that 3if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, his brother is to 4marry the wife and raise up 5children for his brother. 20There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children. 21The second one 6married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise; 22and so the seven together left no children. Last of all the woman also died. 23In the resurrection, which one’s wife will she be? For each of the seven had her as his wife.” 24Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not 7understand the Scriptures nor 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 8regarding the fact that the dead rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, 9in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘10I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 2711He is not the God 12of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”
