Luke 20:27-40

27Now some Sadducees (who contend that there is no resurrection) came to him.

28They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and father children for his brother.

29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died without children.

30The second

31and then the third married her, and in this same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Finally the woman died too.

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

34So Jesus said to them, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

36In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.

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

38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live before him.”

39Then some of the experts in the law answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well!”

40For they did not dare any longer to ask him anything.
