Mark 12:21-31

21 The second married her and died without having children. So did the third.
22 None of the seven brothers had any children. Last of all, the woman died.
23 When the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her."
24 Jesus said to them, "Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power?
25 When the dead come back to life, they don't marry. Rather, they are like the angels in heaven.
26 Haven't you read in the book of Moses that the dead come back to life? It's in the passage about the bush, where God said, 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'
27 He's not the God of the dead but of the living. You're badly mistaken!"
28 One of the scribes went to Jesus during the argument with the Sadducees. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of them all?"
29 Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord.
30 So love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31 The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."
