012:018 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that
there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
012:019 "Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
012:020 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife,
but at his death left no family.
012:021 The second married her, and died, leaving no family;
and the third did the same.
012:022 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless.
Finally the woman also died.
012:023 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all
seven married her."
012:024 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus—"your
ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
012:025 For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
012:026 But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
012:027 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
