NKJV 18 Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying: NIV 18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. NKJV 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. NIV 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. NKJV 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. NIV 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. NKJV 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. NIV 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. NKJV 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. NIV 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. NKJV 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife." NIV 23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” NKJV 24 Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? NIV 24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? NKJV 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. NIV 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. NKJV 26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? NIV 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’? NKJV 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken." NIV 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
