Jesus Debates the Sadducees on the Resurrection

23

The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,

24

Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

25

Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother.

26

Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.

27

And last of all the woman died also.

28

Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.

29

Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30

For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.

31

And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,

32

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.

33

And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
