23 Naquele dia, aproximaram-se dele alguns saduceus, que dizem não haver ressurreição, e lhe perguntaram: 24 Mestre, Moisés disse:

Se alguém morrer, não tendo filhos, seu irmão casará com a viúva e suscitará descendência ao falecido.

25 Ora, havia entre nós sete irmãos. O primeiro, tendo casado, morreu e, não tendo descendência, deixou sua mulher a seu irmão; 26 o mesmo sucedeu com o segundo, com o terceiro, até ao sétimo; 27 depois de todos eles, morreu também a mulher. 28 Portanto, na ressurreição, de qual dos sete será ela esposa? Porque todos a desposaram. 29 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Errais, não conhecendo as Escrituras nem o poder de Deus. 30 Porque, na ressurreição, nem casam, nem se dão em casamento; são, porém, como os anjos no céu. 31 E, quanto à ressurreição dos mortos, não tendes lido o que Deus vos declarou:

32 Eu sou o Deus de Abraão, o Deus de Isaque e o Deus de Jacó?

Ele não é Deus de mortos, e sim de vivos. 33 Ouvindo isto, as multidões se maravilhavam da sua doutrina.

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.

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.

24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.

26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.

27 Finally, the woman died.

28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"

29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

31 But about the resurrection of the dead —have you not read what God said to you,

32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' "? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
