Matthew 22:26-36

26 The same thing happened with the second brother and the third, and in fact with all seven brothers.
27 Finally, the woman died.
28 At the resurrection, which of the seven brothers will be her husband? They were all married to her."
29 Jesus responded, " You are wrong because you don't know either the scriptures or God's power.
30 At the resurrection people won't marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like angels from God.
31 As for the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read what God told you,
32 I'm the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He isn't the God of the dead but of the living."
33 Now when the crowd heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

Great commandment

34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had left the Sadducees speechless, they met together.
35 One of them, a legal expert, tested him.
36 "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
