23 In that the day came to him Sadducees, they saying, not to be a resurrection; and they asked him,

24 saying: O teacher, Moses said: If any one should die not having children, shall marry the brother of him the wife of him, and shall raise seed to the brother of him.

25 There were now with us seven brothers; and the first having married, died; and not having seed, left the wife of him to the brother of him.

26 Likewise also the second, and the third till the seven.

27 After and of all died also the woman.

28 In the therefore resurrection, of whom of the seven shall be a wife? all for had her.

29 Answering and the Jesus said to them: You go astray, not knowing the writings, neither the power of the God.

30 In for the resurrection neither they marry, nor are given in marriage, but as messengers of the God in heaven are.

31 About but the resurrection of the dead (ones) not have you read that having been spoken to you by the God, saying:

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Not is the God, a God of dead (ones), but of living (ones).

33 And having heard the crowds, were astonished at the teaching of him.

23 That same day, Sadducees came to him. They believe there is no resurrection. They asked him a question.

24 »Teacher, Moses said if a man dies having no children, his brother should marry his wife, and bring up seed for his brother.

25 »There were seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no children, left his wife to his brother.

26 »The same happened to the second, right on through the seventh.

27 »After that the woman died.

28 »In the resurrection, with which of the seven will she be married? All seven had her.«

29 Jesus answered: »You are mistaken! You do not know the scriptures or the power of God.

30 »In the resurrection they will not marry nor be given in marriage. They will be like the angels in heaven.

31 »Concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you read that which was spoken to you by God?

32 »God said: 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 When many people heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
