23 The Sadducees did not believe that people would rise to life after death. So that same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus and said: 24 Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother. 25 Once there were seven brothers who lived here. The first one married, but died without having any children. So his wife was left to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers and finally to all seven of them. 27 At last the woman died. 28 When God raises people from death, whose wife will this woman be? She had been married to all seven brothers. 29 Jesus answered: You are completely wrong! You don't know what the Scriptures teach. And you don't know anything about the power of God. 30 When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 31 And as for people being raised to life, God was speaking to you when he said, 32 "I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 The crowds were surprised to hear what Jesus was teaching.
