Now
there were seven brothers among us. The first
married
and died and, having no descendants, left his
wife
to his brother. The same happened with the second
and
the third, through all seven. Finally the woman
died.
Now at the resurrection, of the seven, whose
wife
will she be? For they all had been married to her."
Jesus
said to them in reply, "You are misled because
you
do not know the scriptures or the power of God.
At the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given
in marriage but are like the angels in heaven. And
concerning the
resurrection of the dead, have you
not
read
what was said to you by God, 'I am the God of
Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
He
is not the God of the dead but of the living."
