Some
Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put
this question to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If
someone's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the
wife and raise up descendants for his brother.'
Now
there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then
the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died
childless. Finally the woman also died.
Now
at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been
married to her." Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry and
remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the
resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They
can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses
made known in the passage about the bush, when he called 'Lord' the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead,
but of the living, for to him all are alive.
