18 Another time, members of the Sadducee sect (which says that there’s no resurrection), came to Yeshua and asked,[ref] 19 “Teacher, Mosheh (Moses) wrote that if a man’s married brother should die before his wife without having any children, then his brother should marry her to produce descendants in his brother’s name.[ref] 20 Now what if there were seven brothers and the first one got married and died childless. 21 So then the second brother took her in, but again died childless, and then too the third. 22 Eventually all seven brothers died childless, and finally the woman also died. 23 Now, at the resurrection of the dead, which brother will she be the wife of, because at some point, she was married to each of the seven of them?”

24 “Actually you’re all quite wrong,” Yeshua answered, “because you ignore the scriptures and also because you haven’t experienced God’s power. 25 When the dead do come back to life, they won’t be getting engaged or married, but will be like the messengers in the heavens. 26 But as for the state of those who’ve died, didn’t you all read in the scriptures about Mosheh when God spoke to him in front of the burning thorn bush and said, ‘I am the god of Abraham and the god of Isaac and the god of Yacob’?[ref] 27 So God is not the god of the dead, but of the living. You Sadducees are very wrong!”
