Matthew 22:23-33 - A Question About Marriage And The Resurrection
23 The same day the Sadducees came to him, which say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him, 24 saying, "Master, Moses bade, if a man die having no children, that the brother marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 There were with us seven brethren, and the first married and deceased without issue, and left his wife unto his brother. 26 Likewise the second and the third, unto the seventh: 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Now in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? For all had her."
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye are deceived, and understand not what the scripture meaneth, nor yet the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are married: but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 As touching the resurrection of the dead: have ye not read what is said unto you of God, which sayeth, 32 'I am Abraham's God, and Isaac's God, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead: but of the living."
33 And when the people heard that, they were astonished at his doctrine.
18 Then came the Sadducees came unto him, which say there is no resurrection. And they asked him, saying, 19 "Master, Moses wrote unto us, if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children: that then his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 There were seven brethren and the first took a wife, and when he died left no seed behind him. 21 And the second took her, and died: neither left he any seed, and the third likewise. 22 And seven had her, and left no seed behind them. Last of all, the wife died also. 23 In the resurrection, then, when they shall rise again: whose wife shall she be of them? For seven had her to wife."
24 Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Are ye not therefore deceived, and understand not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise again from death, they neither marry, nor are married: but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26 As touching the dead, that they shall rise again: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' 27 He is not the God of the dead: but the God of the living. Ye are therefore greatly deceived."
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection. And they asked him, 28 saying, "Master, Moses wrote unto us, 'if any man's brother die having a wife; And the same die without issue: that then his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.' 29 There were seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took the wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her, and in likewise the residue of the seven; And left no children behind them, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Now at the resurrection whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife."
34 Jesus answered and said unto them, "The children of this world marry wives, and are married, 35 but they which shall be made worthy to enjoy that world, and the resurrection from death, neither marry wives, 36 neither are married, nor yet can die any more. For they are equal unto the angels: and are the sons of God, inasmuch as they are the children of the resurrection. 37 And that the dead shall rise again, even Moses signified besides the bush, when he said, 'The Lord God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' 38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which live. For all live in him."
39 Then certain of the Pharisees answered and said, "Master, thou hast well said." 40 And after that durst they not ask him any question at all.
