27 Then some from the Saddoukaios (Sadducee) sect came. They claim there’s no resurrection,[ref] and they asked Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), 28 “Teacher, Mosheh (Moses) wrote for us that if anyone’s married brother should die childless, then the surviving brother should take in the widow so they can produce children in the deceased brother’s name.[ref] 29 Once there were seven brothers, and the first one had a wife, but died without having children. 30 Then the second brother 31 and the third took her, right through to the seventh, and without leaving any children, they all eventually died. 32 Finally, the woman also died. 33 So when they’re resurrected, which brother will she be the wife of? After all, all seven had her as their wife.”

34 Yeshua answered them, “This generation get engaged and married, 35 but in the next age, those who are considered worthy to be brought back to life from the dead won’t get engaged or marry, 36 because they can’t die again, but rather they’re like God’s messengers and are God’s children, being children of the resurrection. 37 But about the dead being raised, Mosheh (Moses) revealed it at the burning thorn bush when he called Yahweh the god of Avraham and of Yitshak (Isaac) and of Ya’akov (Jacob),[ref] 38 and God is not the god of the dead, but of the living, because to him, everyone is living.”

39 “Teacher, you answered well,” some of the religious teachers affirmed, 40 and no one dared to ask him anything else after that.
