19
Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother shall die, and leave [his] wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
20
Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife.
24
And Jesus answering, said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.
26
And concerning the dead that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
28
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.
