| 12:18 |
And the Sadducees are coming before him, ... |
| |
who say a resurrection (is) not to be, ...! |
| |
And
they were questioning him, saying, ... |
| 12:19 |
"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ... |
| |
that if of someone a brother should die, ... |
| |
and leave behind a wife, and not leave a child, ... |
| |
that may take the brother of him the wife, ... |
| |
and may raise up a seed for the brother of him." |
| 12:20 |
"There were seven brothers, ... |
| |
and the first took a wife, ... |
| |
and dying, did not leave a seed." |
| 12:21 |
"And
the second took her, ... |
| |
and he died, not having left behind a seed, ... |
| |
and the third likewise." |
| 12:22 |
"And the seven did not leave a seed. |
| |
and last of all the wife died." |
| 12:23 |
"In the raising up, when they are raised, to which of them will she be a wife?" |
| |
"For
all seven had her as a wife." |
| 12:24 |
Jesus said to them, ... "Is it not through this you are mislead, not having known the scriptures, ... |
| |
nor the power of God?" |
| 12:25 |
"For when out of the dead they stand up, ... |
| |
not do marry, nor be married, ... |
| |
but are like angels in the heavens. |
| 12:26 |
"Yet about the dead that they are raised, ... |
| |
have you not read in the Book of Moses at the thornbush, ... |
| |
how God spoke to him saying, ... |
| |
"I am the God of Abraham, ... |
| |
and the God of Isaac, ... |
| |
and the God of Jacob?" " |
| 12:27 |
"He
is not a God of the dead, ... |
| |
but
of the living, you
are greatly mistaken!" |
