Matthew 22:23-33

Murdock(i) 23 The same day came Sadducees, and said to him: There is no life of the dead. And they questioned him, 24 and said to him: Teacher; Moses commanded us, that if a man should die childless, his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first took a wife, and deceased; and, as he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 In like manner also the second, and the third, and up to the whole seven. 27 And after them all, the woman also herself died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, to which of those seven will she be the wife? For they all had taken her? 29 Jesus answered, and said to them: Ye do err, from not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection of the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as to the resurrection of the dead,: have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, who said: 32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob? Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.
