The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

12:18¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

12:19Master, 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.

12:20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

12:21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

Selected passage

12:22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

Selected passage

12:23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

12:24And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

12:25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

12:26And 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?

12:27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
