New International Version NIV
27 Now some of the Sadducees--who deny {that there is a resurrection}--came up [and] asked him,
27
Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28 saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone's brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother.
28
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife [and] died childless,
29
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30 and the second,
30
The second
31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
31
and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32 Finally the woman also died.
32
Finally, the woman died too.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman--whose wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife."
33
Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
34
Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and [to] the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
35
But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.
36
and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in [the passage about] the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob.
37
But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!"
38
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 And some of the scribes answered [and] said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
39
Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”
40 For they no longer dared to ask him anything.
40
And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
