Then certain of the Sadducees came, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
28
saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
29
There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife and died without children.
30
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also, and they left no children and died.
32
Last of all the woman died also.
33
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
34
And Jesus answering said unto them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
35
but those who are accounted worthy to obtain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
36
for neither can they die any more, for they are equal unto the angels and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection.
