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

22:23¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

22:24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

22:25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

22:26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

22:27And last of all the woman died also.

22:28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

22:29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

22:30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

22:31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

22:32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

22:33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
