For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels who are in heaven. And touching the dead, that they rise, Have ye oot read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake to thim, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
