Luke 20:27-40

²⁷Now some of the Sadducees (who maintain that there is no resurrection) came to Him, ²⁸and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife, and he is childless, that his brother is to marry the wife and raise up children for his brother. ²⁹So then, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless; ³⁰and the second ³¹and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children. ³²Finally the woman also died. ³³Therefore, in the resurrection, which one’s wife does the woman become? For all seven married her.”

³⁴Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and the women are given in marriage, ³⁵but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; ³⁶for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. ³⁷But as for the fact that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed this in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. ³⁸Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him.” ³⁹Some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.” ⁴⁰For they did not have the courage to question Him any longer about anything.
