23 Dieselfde dag kom daar na Hom Sadduseërs, hulle wat sê dat daar geen opstanding is nie, en vra Hom

24 en sê: Meester, Moses het gesê: As iemand sonder kinders sterwe, moet sy broer sy vrou trou en kinders vir sy broer verwek.

25 Nou was daar by ons sewe broers, en die eerste het getrou en gesterwe; en omdat hy geen kinders gehad het nie, het hy sy vrou vir sy broer agtergelaat.

26 So ook die tweede en die derde tot die sewende toe.

27 En laaste van almal het die vrou ook gesterwe.

28 In die opstanding dan, van watter een van die sewe sal sy die vrou wees -- want hulle almal het haar gehad?

29 Toe antwoord Jesus en sê vir hulle: Julle dwaal, omdat julle die Skrifte nie ken nie en ook nie die krag van God nie.

30 Want in die opstanding trou hulle nie en word ook nie in die huwelik uitgegee nie, maar is soos engele van God in die hemel.

31 En wat die opstanding van die dode betref -- het julle nie die woord gelees wat tot julle deur God gespreek is nie:

32 Ek is die God van Abraham en die God van Isak en die God van Jakob? God is nie 'n God van dooies nie, maar van lewendes.

33 En toe die skare dit hoor, was hulle verslae oor sy leer.

23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And after them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
