23 On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

24 Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

25 Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother;

26 In the same way the second and the third, up to the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman came to her end.

28 When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

29 But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

30 For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

31 But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

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 the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

23 撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事。那一天， 他们前来问耶稣：

24 "老师， 摩西说： ‘如果一个人死了， 没有儿女， 他的弟弟应该娶他的妻子， 为哥哥立后。’

25 从前我们这里有兄弟七人， 头一个结了婚， 没有孩子就死了， 留下妻子给他的弟弟。

26 第二个、第三个直到第七个都是这样。

27 最后， 那女人也死了。

28 那么， 复活的时候， 她是这七个人中哪一个的妻子呢？因为他们都娶过她。"

29 耶稣回答他们： "你们错了， 因为你们不明白圣经， 也不晓得 神的能力。

30 复活的时候， 人们也不娶也不嫁， 而是像天上的使者一样。

31 关于死人复活的事， 神对你们讲过： ‘我是亚伯拉罕的 神， 以撒的 神， 雅各的 神’， 你们没有念过吗？ 神不是死人的 神， 而是活人的 神。"

33 群众听了他的教训， 就十分诧异。
