Version 1984, ©1984)
Marriage at the Resurrection
23 That same
day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a
question. 24
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having
children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. 25
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one 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 brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 Finally, the woman
died. 28 Now then,
at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of
them were married to her?”
29 Jesus
replied, “You are in error because you do
not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the
resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they
will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the
resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,
32
‘I am the God of Abraham, 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.

Marriage at the Resurrection
18 Then the
Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a
question. 19
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies
and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and
have children for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The
first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married
the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the
third. 22 In fact,
none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection
whose wife will she be, since the 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 the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage;
they will be like the angels in heaven. 26
Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the book of Moses, in
the account of the 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 badly mistaken!”

The Resurrection and Marriage
27 Some of the
Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a
question. 28
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies
and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and
have children for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The
first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in
the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the
resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to
her?”
34 Jesus
replied, “The people of this age marry and
are given in marriage. 35
But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in
the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in
marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they
are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children
of the resurrection. 37
But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise,
for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob.’ 38
He is not the God of
the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Some of
the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!” 40 And no one dared to
ask him any more questions.
