Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection (MAT 22:23-33)

[22:23] The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,

[22:24] saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’

[22:25] Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.

[22:26] So too the second and third, down to the seventh.

[22:27] After them all, the woman died.

[22:28] In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

[22:29] But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.

[22:30] For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

[22:31] And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:

[22:32] ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

[22:33] And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
