New International Version NIV
19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies , leaves his wife behind, and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.
19
“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.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no offspring.
20
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
21 The second also took her, and he died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.
21
The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
22 The seven also left no offspring. Last of all, the woman died too.
22
In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be, since the seven had married her?"
23
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus told them, "Are you not deceived because you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God?
24
Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.
25
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
26 Now concerning the dead being raised-haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob ?
26
Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are badly deceived."
27
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
28 One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
28
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 "This is the most important," Jesus answered: Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is One.
29
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
