Matthew 22:23-33 (Gospel)
- 23
- The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
- 24
- saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
- 25
- Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
- 26
- Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
- 27
- Last of all the woman died also.
- 28
- Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
- 29
- Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
- 30
- For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
- 31
- But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
- 32
- ’I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
- 33
- And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
