(23)On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him, (24)saying, Master, Moses said, "If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother." (25)Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother; (26)likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven. (27)Last of all the woman died also. (28)In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. (29)Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God. (30)For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. (31)But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying, (32)"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. (33)And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine. (34)But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees' mouths, they assembled together: (35)and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said, (36)Master, which is the great commandment in the law? (37)Then Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." (38)This is the first and great commandment. (39)And the second is like to it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (40)On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend. (41)The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them, (42)saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David's. (43)He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying, (44)"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet." (45)If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son? (46)And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more. CHAP. XXIII.
