Mark 12:18-27
New International Version
Marriage at the Resurrection(A)
18 Then the Sadducees,(B) who say there is no resurrection,(C) came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(D) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[a] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(E) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(F) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[b]?(G) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(A)
18 (B)Then some Sadducees, (C)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying: 19 “Teacher, (D)Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore [a]mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (E)are like angels in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they (F)rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, (G)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly [b]mistaken.”

King James Version
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that 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 left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And 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 of them? for the seven had her to 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 which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake 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.

La cuestión de la resurrección (Mt 22,23-33; Lc 20,27-40)
18 Después de esto vinieron unos saduceos que, como dicen que no hay resurrección, hicieron a Jesús esta pregunta:
19 — Maestro, Moisés nos dejó escrito que si el hermano de uno muere y deja esposa , pero no hijos, el hermano mayor superviviente deberá casarse con la viuda para dar descendencia al hermano difunto. 20 Pues bien, hubo una vez siete hermanos; el primero de ellos se casó, pero murió sin haber tenido descendencia. 21 Entonces el segundo hermano se casó con la viuda, pero él también murió sin dejar descendencia. Lo mismo pasó con el tercero, 22 y con los siete: ninguno tuvo descendencia de aquella mujer, que fue la última de todos en morir. 23 Así, pues, en la resurrección, cuando todos resuciten, ¿de cuál de ellos será esposa, si los siete estuvieron casados con ella?
24 Jesús les dijo:
— Estáis en esto muy equivocados al no conocer las Escrituras ni tener idea del poder de Dios. 25 En la resurrección ya no habrá matrimonios, sino que todos serán como los ángeles que están en los cielos. 26 En cuanto a que los muertos han de resucitar, ¿no habéis leído en el libro de Moisés, en el pasaje de la zarza, lo que Dios le dijo: Yo soy el Dios de Abrahán, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob? 27 Pues bien, él es Dios de vivos y no de muertos. ¡Estáis muy equivocados!
