Thematic Bible: Who does not marry


Thematic Bible



Then come the sadducees to Him, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked Him, saying, Master, Moses, in his writings tells us, if any one's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died and left no seed; read more.
and the second took her, and died, and he left no seed neither; and the third likewise. And all the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all died the woman also. In the resurrection therefore, when they rise again, whose wife shall be of them; for all the seven had her to wife? And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven. But as to the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him in the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: therefore ye do greatly mistake.

On the same day came the sadducees to Him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked Him, saying, Master, Moses said, If any man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first married and died, and having no issue left his wife to his brother; read more.
likewise the second also, and the third, even to seven; and last of all the woman died also; therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. But Jesus answered them, Ye are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God: for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels of God in heaven. But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what is 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 the God of the dead, but of the living.

And some of the Sadducees (who deny a resurrection) came to Him and asked Him, saying, Moses enjoined us, if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; and the second took the wife, and he died childless; read more.
and the third took her; and in like manner all the seven. And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died. Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
