27Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came near and questioned him.28They said, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a brother should die having a wife and this man should be childless, his brother should take the woman in order to raise up offspring for his brother."29There were therefore seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless.30And the second took her and died childless.31And the third likewise took her, and then the seven also left no children and died.32Later the woman also died.33Therefore in the resurrection the woman becomes the wife of which of them? For the seven had her as wife.34Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage."35But those who are considered worthy to obtain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.36Nor indeed can they still die, for they are like an angel and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.37That the dead are raised Moses also disclosed at the thorn bush, as he says, "The Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob."38God is not of the dead but of the living, for all live to him.39Then some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."40For they no longer dared to question him at all.
