For they all had her. 29 Iesus aunswered & sayde vnto them: ye do erre, not knowyng the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection, they neither mary, nor are geuen in maryage: but are as the Angels of God in heauen. 31 But as touchyng the resurrection of the dead: haue ye not read that which is spoken vnto you of God, which sayth. 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
