Mark 12:23-33

23 At the resurrection, when they all rise up, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her."

24 Jesus said to them, " Isn't this the reason you are wrong, because you don't know either the scriptures or God's power?

25 When people rise from the dead, they won't marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like God's angels.

26 As for the resurrection from the dead, haven't you read in the scroll from Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to Moses, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

27 He isn't the God of the dead but of the living. You are seriously mistaken."

God’s most important command

28 One of the legal experts heard their dispute and saw how well Jesus answered them. He came over and asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

29 Jesus replied, " The most important one is Israel, listen! Our God is the one Lord,

30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

31 The second is this, You will love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these."

32 The legal expert said to him, "Well said, Teacher. You have truthfully said that God is one and there is no other besides him.

33 And to love God with all of the heart, a full understanding, and all of one's strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself is much more important than all kinds of entirely burned offerings and sacrifices."
