Mark 12:18-27

18Then Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came and began questioning Yeshua, saying,

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

20There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and, when he died, left no offspring.

21And the second took her and died, leaving no offspring, and the third likewise.

22Now the seven left no offspring. Last of all, the woman died, too.

23In the resurrection, when they rise up, whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”

24Yeshua said to them, “Isn’t this the reason you’ve gone astray, because you don’t understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

25For when they rise up from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

26But concerning the dead being raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the burning bush? How God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27He’s not the God of the dead, but of the living. You have gone far astray!”
