Luke 20:27-40

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees came to Him (who deny that there is any resurrection). And they asked Him,

²⁸ “Master, Moses wrote to us: ‘If anyone’s brother dies having a wife (and he dies without children), that his brother should take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.’

²⁹ “Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without children.

³⁰ “And the second took the wife, and he died childless.

³¹ “Then the third took her. And so likewise did all seven die and leave no children.

³² “And last of all, the woman also died.

³³ “Therefore, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be? For seven had her as wife.”

³⁴ Then Jesus answered, and said to them, “The sons of this world marry wives, and are married.

³⁵ “But those who shall be counted worthy to enjoy that World, (and the resurrection from the dead) neither marry wives nor are married.

³⁶ “For they can die no more, because they are equal to the angels and are the sons of God (since they are sons of the resurrection).

³⁷ “And even Moses showed that the dead shall rise again when, beside the bush, he said, ‘The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ “For He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all live for Him.”

³⁹ Then some of the scribes answered, and said, “Master, You have spoken well.”

⁴⁰ And after that, they did not ask Him anything at all.
