New Testament

Luke 20:28-37 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

28. and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.

29. Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;

30. and the second

31. and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32. Finally the woman died also.

33. In the resurrection therefore, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."

34. Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

35. but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

36. for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
