Mark 12:18

Mark 12:18-27

¹⁸And Sadducees come to him, who say there is no resurrection, and they were questioning him, saying, ¹⁹“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, his brother should take the wife and raise up offspring for his brother. ²⁰There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and when he died he left no offspring; ²¹and the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring; and the third likewise; ²²and the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. ²³In the resurrection, when they rise, which of them will she be wife to? For the seven had her as wife.” ²⁴Jesus said to them, “Is it not for this reason that you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God? ²⁵For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. ²⁶But concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, at the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? ²⁷He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are greatly mistaken.”

Matthew 22:23-33

²³On that day Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him, and they questioned him, ²⁴saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If someone dies not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’ ²⁵Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first married and died, and not having offspring, he left his wife to his brother; ²⁶likewise also the second and the third, up to the seven. ²⁷And last of all the woman died. ²⁸In the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.” ²⁹But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. ³⁰For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. ³¹But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, ³²‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” ³³And when the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Luke 20:27-40

²⁷And some of the Sadducees, those who contend that there is no resurrection, came up and asked him, ²⁸saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up offspring for his brother. ²⁹Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless; ³⁰and the second, ³¹and the third took her; and likewise also the seven left no children and died. ³²Finally the woman also died. ³³The woman, then, in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.” ³⁴And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, ³⁵but those who are considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage; ³⁶for neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to angels, and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. ³⁷But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. ³⁸Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” ³⁹And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” ⁴⁰For they no longer dared to ask him anything.
