Mark 12:18-27

Darby Translation

¹⁸ And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁰ There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;

²¹ and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.

²² And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.

²³ In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?

²⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁵ For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.

²⁶ But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the bush, how God spoke to 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 of [the] living. *Ye* therefore greatly err.
