Mark 12:17-27

17 And Jesus answering, said unto them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at Him.
18 Then came unto Him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked Him, saying,
19 "Master, Moses wrote unto us that if a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, then his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no seed.
21 And the second took her and died, neither leaving any seed. And the third likewise.
22 So 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, for all seven had her for a wife?"
24 And Jesus answering, said unto 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 unto 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."
