Mark 12:18-27

Riverside(i) 18 Then there came to him some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if any man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but no child, the brother shall take the wife and raise up off-spring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died leaving no child, 21 then the second took her and died leaving no child, then the third likewise. 22 None of the seven left any child. Last of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection when they rise again whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." 24 Jesus said to them, "Do you not err for the reason that you do not know either the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven. 26 And concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'? 27 He is not a God of dead men, but of living men. You are much mistaken."
