24. `Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.
25. `And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;
26. in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
27. and last of all died also the woman;
28. therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife--for all had her?'
29. And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
30. for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.
31. `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'
33. And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;
34. and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;
35. and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,
36. `Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?'
37. And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding--
38. this is a first and great command;
39. and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
40. on these--the two commands--all the law and the prophets do hang.'
41. And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,
42. saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.'
