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 Tą pačią dieną atėjo pas Jį sadukiejų, kurie nepripažįsta mirusiųjų prisikėlimo, ir klausė:
24 "Mokytojau, Mozė yra pasakęs: ‘Jei kas mirtų bevaikis, tegul jo brolis veda jo žmoną ir pažadina savo broliui palikuonių’.
25 Štai pas mus buvo septyni broliai. Pirmasis vedęs mirė ir, neturėdamas vaikų, paliko žmoną savo broliui.
26 Taip atsitiko antrajam ir trečiajam iki septintojo.
27 Po jų visų numirė ir ta moteris.
28 Tad kurio iš septynių ji bus žmona prisikėlime? Juk visi yra ją turėję".
29 Jėzus jiems atsakė: "Jūs klystate, nepažindami nei Raštų, nei Dievo jėgos.
30 Prisikėlime nei ves, nei tekės, bet bus kaip Dievo angelai danguje.
31 O apie mirusiųjų prisikėlimą ar neskaitėte, kas jums Dievo pasakyta:
32 ‘Aš esu Abraomo Dievas, Izaoko Dievas ir Jokūbo Dievas’. Dievas nėra mirusiųjų Dievas, bet gyvųjų!"
33 Tai girdėdama, minia stebėjosi Jo mokymu.
