New Testament
Matthew 22:23-33
The God of the Living
23That same day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him a question: 24“Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without having children, his brother should marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’[] 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one died after he married her, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26It was the same with the second brother, the third, and all the way to the seventh. 27Last of all, the woman died. 28So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since they all married her?”
29“You are mistaken,” Jesus replied, “since you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30In fact, in the resurrection people neither marry nor are given in marriage. Instead they are like the angels of God in heaven. 31And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you never read what was spoken to you by God: 32‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?[] He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33When the crowds heard his answer, they were amazed at his teaching.
