23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him, 24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."

29 But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 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 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished 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。
