12:18-27 The Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him saying, “Teacher Moses wrote that if a brother should die and leave behind a wife without a child, his brother may take the wife in order to have a child on behalf of his brother. There were seven brothers. The first took a wife. But he died childless. The second married her but he also died without having a child. Similarly with the third and the whole seven, were childless. Last of all the wife died. In the resurrection when they rise again, whose wife shall she be? For the seven had had her as a wife?” And Jesus said to them. “You err in not knowing the scriptures and the power of God. For when the dead shall rise again from death they neighbour marry nor are given in marriage. But they are as angels in the heavens. Concerning the dead being raised, did you not read in the scroll of Moses about the bush and how God said to him “I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?” He is not God of dead persons but of living ones. You err greatly.”
