The question about marriage in heaven

22:23 The question about marriage in heaven

(Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40)

23 On the same day, some people from the Sadducee sect (who claim people won’t rise back to life after dying) approached Yeshua and asked,[ref] 24 “Teacher, Mosheh wrote that if a married man dies childless, his brother should marry the widow and in that way raise children for his deceased brother.[ref] 25 Well, there were seven brothers amongst us, and the first one got married and then died childless. So his brother married the widow. 26 The same happened for the second brother, and the third, all the way to the seventh. 27 Finally the woman died. 28 Now then, if people rise back to life, which of the brothers will she be the wife of, since they were all married to her?”

29 “You’ve got it wrong,” Yeshua answered, “because you don’t understand either the scriptures or God’s power. 30 When people come back to life, there’ll be no marrying or getting engaged, because they’ll be like the messengers in heaven. 31 But as for coming back to life after dying, isn’t it written in the scriptures that God said, 32 ‘I am Abraham’s god and Isaac’s god and Yacob’s god.’? God isn’t the god of dead people, but of living ones.”[ref]

33 When the crowds heard his answer, they were amazed at his teaching.


22:23: Acts 23:8.

22:24: Deu 25:5.

22:32: Exo 3:6.
