Now some of the Sadducees (who maintain that there is no resurrection) came to Him,

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

and 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.

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

"So then, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

and the second

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

"Finally the woman also died.

Last of all the woman died also.

"Therefore, in the resurrection, which one's wife does the woman become? For all seven married her."

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

Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and the women are given in marriage,

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

"But 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.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

"Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him."

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

Some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

For they did not have the courage to question Him any longer about anything.

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