Matthew 22

23 Later the same day some Sadducees came to see him. (They are the ones who say there’s no resurrection.) 24 They asked him, "Teacher, Moses said that if a married*22:24. Implied. man dies without having children, his brother should marry his widow and have children on behalf of his brother.*22:24. See Deuteronomy 25:5-6. 25 Well, once there were seven brothers here with us. The first married, and died, and since he had no children he left his widow to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third husband, right up to the seventh. 27 In the end the woman died too. 28 So when the resurrection takes place, whose wife of the seven brothers will she be, for she married all of them?"

29 Jesus replied, "Your mistake is you don’t know Scripture or what God can do. 30 For in the resurrection people don’t marry, and they aren’t given in marriage either—they’re like the angels in heaven. 31 As for the resurrection of the dead—haven’t you read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He’s not the God of the dead, but of the living."*22:32. Quoting Exodus 3:6. 33 When the crowds heard what he said, they were amazed at his teaching.
