23 Master, Moses wrote unto us in his law, If a man's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seen unto his brother.
24 Now there were seven brethren; the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
25 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed; and the third likewise.
26 And the seven had her, and left no seed; last of all the woman died also.
27 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them, for the seven had her to wife?
28 And Jesus answering said unto them, Ye do err therefore, because ye know not, and understand not the Scriptures, neither the power of God.
29 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels of God who are in heaven.
30 And as touching the dead, that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush, God spake unto him, saying,
31 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
32 He is not therefore the God of the dead, but the God of the living; for he raiseth them up out of their graves. Ye therefore do greatly err.
33 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
