Luke 20:27-39

27Then some of the Sadducees (who deny there is a resurrection) came and questioned Yeshua.

28“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that ‘if a man’s brother dies’ having a wife ‘but no children, then his brother should take the widow and father children for his brother.’

29Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless;

30and the second

31and the third took her, but in this same way, each of the seven brothers died and left no children.

32Finally the woman died too.

33So in the resurrection, whose wife is she? For all seven had married her.”

34Yeshua said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35But those considered worthy to reach the olam ha-ba and the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

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

37But at the burning bush even Moses revealed that the dead are raised, when he calls Adonai ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Now He is God not of the dead but of the living, for to Him they all are living.”

39Some of the Torah scholars replied, “Teacher, You have said it well.”
