Mark 12:18-27
1599 Geneva Bible
18 ¶ (A)[a]Then came the Sadducees unto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, (B)Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 There were seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
21 Then the second took her, and he died, neither did he yet leave issue, and the third likewise:
22 So these seven had her, and left no issue: last of all the wife died also.
23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for seven had her to wife.
24 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, Are ye not therefore deceived, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, neither men marry, nor wives are married, but are as the Angels which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they shall rise again, have ye not read in the book of Moses how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I (C)am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore greatly deceived.
