  • Matt 22:23-33 : 23 That same day, the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him, 24 saying, 'Teacher, Moses said: If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.' 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third, and so on through all seven. 27 Last of all, the woman died too. 28 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her as a wife.' 29 Jesus answered them, 'You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.' 31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you: 32 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.' 33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
  • Mark 12:18-27 : 18 Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him. 19 'Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife but no children, the man should marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' 20 'Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no children.' 21 'The second brother married her and also died, leaving no children. The same happened to the third, and likewise to all seven.' 22 'Finally, after the seven, the woman also died.' 23 'In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.' 24 Jesus replied, 'Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?' 25 When people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 Regarding the dead being raised—have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are greatly mistaken.
