And the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies and leaves a wife, and leaves no child, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died, and left no child; read more.
and the second took her, and died leaving no child; and the third in like manner. And the seven left no child. Last of all, the woman died also. In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife shall she be? for the seven had her as a wife. Jesus said to them, Do you not err on this account, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are married, but are like angels in heaven. But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; you greatly err.

On that day the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother. Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married, and died; and having no children he left his wife to his brother; read more.
in like manner also the second, and third, till the seventh; last of all the woman died also. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? for they all had her. And Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are married, but are as angels in heaven. But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of the dead, but of the living.

And some of the Sadducees came forward, who deny that there is a resurrection, and asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies, having a wife, and dies childless, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died childless; read more.
and the second and third took her; and in like manner also the seven; [and they] left no children, and died. And last, the woman died also. In the resurrection, therefore, which of them has her for a wife? for the seven had her for a wife. And Jesus said to them, The children of this life marry and are married; but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married; neither can they die any more; for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. But God is not [a God] of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

IF you, therefore, have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God; employ your minds on things above, not on things on the earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God;
