Then come vnto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection, and they asked him, saying,

Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If a mans brother die, and leaue his wife behind him, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seed vnto his brother.

Now there were seuen brethren: and the first tooke a wife, and dying left no seede.

And the second tooke her, and died, neither left he any seed, and the third likewise.

And the seuen had her, and left no seede: last of all the woman died also.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seuen had her to wife.

And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Doe ye not therefore erre, because yee know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are giuen in marriage: but are as the Angels which are in heauen.

And as touching the dead, that they rise: haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, how in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isahac, and the God of Iacob?

Hee is not the God of the dead, but the God of the liuing: yee therefore doe greatly erre.
