24
`Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.
25
`And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;
26
in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
27
and last of all died also the woman;
28
therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife -- for all had her?'
29
And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
30
for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.
31
`And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'
