Jesus Answers the Sadducees

^23 (A)On that day some ^(B)Sadducees (who say ^(C)there is no resurrection) came to ^[a]Jesus and questioned Him, ²⁴ saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘^(D)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up ^[b]children for his brother.’ ²⁵ Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no ^[c]children, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. ²⁷ Last of all, the woman died. ²⁸ In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.”

²⁹ But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, ^(E)since you do not ^[d]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither ^(F)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
