Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

There were therefore seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and died without children.

And the second tooke her to wife, and he died childlesse.

And the third tooke her, and in like maner the seuen also. And they left no children, and died.

Last of all the woman died also.

Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seuen had her to wife.

And Iesus answering, said vnto them, The children of this world, marrie, and are giuen in marriage:

But they which shall be accompted worthy to obtaine that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marrie, nor are giuen in marriage.

Neither can they die any more; for they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Now that the dead are raised, euen Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isahac, and the God of Iacob.

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the liuing for all liue vnto him.

Then certaine of the Scribes answering, said, Master, Thou hast well said.

And after that, they durst not aske him any question at all.
