²³ That same day the Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead. ²⁴ "Teacher," they said, "here is what Moses told us. If a man dies without having children, his brother must get married to the widow. He must have children to carry on his brother's name. ²⁵ There were seven brothers among us. The first one got married and died. Since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ The same thing happened to the second and third brothers. It happened right on down to the seventh brother. ²⁷ Finally, the woman died. ²⁸ Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her." ²⁹ Jesus replied, "You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God. ³⁰ When the dead rise, they won't get married. And their parents won't give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven. ³¹ "What about the dead rising? Haven't you read what God said to you? ^{32 33} When the crowds heard this, they were amazed by what he taught.
