Mark 12:20-30

20 There were seven brothers. The first one took a wife, and when he died, he left no children.
21 Then the second one took her and died without leaving children, and the third likewise,
22 and none of the seven left children. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 In the Resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."
24 Yeshua said to them, "Isn't this the reason that you go astray? because you are ignorant both of the Tanakh and of the power of God?
25 For when people rise from the dead, neither men nor women marry -- they are like angels in heaven.
26 And as for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moshe, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya`akov'?
27 He is God not of the dead, but of the living! You are going far astray!"
28 One of the Torah-teachers came up and heard them engaged in this discussion. Seeing that Yeshua answered them well, he asked him, "Which is the most important mitzvah of them all?"
29 Yeshua answered, "The most important is, `Sh'ma Yisra'el, ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, O Isra'el, the LORD our God, the LORD is one],
30 and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding and with all your strength.'
