saying, "Teacher, Moses said, '^(C1)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up ^(F1)children for his brother.'

"Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no ^(F1)children, he left his wife to his brother.

It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh.

"Last of all, the woman died.

"In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage."

But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, ^(C1)since you do not ^(F1)understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.

"For in the resurrection they neither ^(C1)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

"But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:

'^(C1)I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
