18 Then some Sadducees, [the ones] who say there is no resurrection [of the dead], came and asked Him,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us [Deut. 25:5] that if a man’s brother dies, leaving his widow behind without having had any children, his brother should marry his widow and father children by her. These children would then be considered his [dead] brother’s.
20 [Now] there were [these] seven brothers; the first one got married, but when he died he left no children behind.
21 So, the second one married his widow, and at his death he too left no children behind. Then the third one did the same thing.
22 All seven left no children [behind when they died]. Finally, the woman also passed away.
23 [Now] whose wife will she be in the resurrected state, for all seven [brothers] were married to her?”
24 Jesus said to them, “Is not this the reason that you are [so] mistaken, that you do not know [what] the Scriptures [teach] or [how much] power God has?
25 For when people rise from the dead, men do not get married, and women are not given away in marriage, but [all] are like angels in heaven.
26 But concerning those who are raised from the dead, have you never read in the book of Moses, in the incident about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying [Ex. 3:6], ‘I am Abraham’s God, and Isaac’s God, and Jacob’s God?’
27 [So], He is not God to those who are dead, but [He is] God to those who are alive. You are seriously mistaken.”
