"Luk 20:27  And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him,
Luk 20:28  Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
Luk 20:29  There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children.
Luk 20:30  And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.
Luk 20:31  And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died.
Luk 20:32  Last of all the woman died also.
Luk 20:33  In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
Luk 20:34  And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35  But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives.
Luk 20:36  Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Luk 20:37  Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
Luk 20:38  For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Luk 20:39  And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
Luk 20:40  And after that they durst not ask him any more questions."
Luke 20:27-40
