Mark 12:18-27

Murdock(i) 18 Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said: 19 Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother. 20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner. 22 And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her. 24 Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
