23 Le même jour les Saducéens, qui disent qu'il n'y a point de résurrection, vinrent à lui, et l'interrogèrent,

24 En disant : Maître, Moïse a dit : si quelqu'un vient à mourir sans enfants, que son frère prenne sa femme, et il donnera des enfants à son frère.

25 Or il y avait parmi nous sept frères, dont l'aîné, après s'être marié, mourut, et n'ayant point eu d'enfants, laissa sa femme à son frère.

26 De même le second, puis le troisième, jusques au septième.

27 Et après eux tous, la femme mourut aussi.

28 En la résurrection donc duquel des sept sera-t-elle femme? car tous l'ont eue.

29 Mais Jésus répondant leur dit : vous errez, ne connaissant point les Ecritures, ni la puissance de Dieu.

30 Car en la résurrection on ne prend ni on ne donne point de femmes en mariage, mais on est comme les Anges de Dieu dans le ciel.

31 Et quant à la résurrection des morts, n'avez-vous point lu ce dont Dieu vous a parlé, disant :

32 Je suis le Dieu d'Abraham, et le Dieu d'Isaac, et le Dieu de Jacob; [or] Dieu n'est pas le Dieu des morts, mais des vivants.

33 Ce que les troupes ayant entendu, elles admirèrent sa doctrine.

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.
