(18)And the Sadducees come to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying, (19)Master, Moses left it in writing for us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children; that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother. (20)Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no issue: (21)and the second took her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like manner. (22)And the seven had her, and left no issue. Last of all died also the wife. (23)In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had the very same wife. (24)And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God? (25)For when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage; but they are as the angels which are in heaven. (26)But concerning the dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (27)He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous. (28)And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? (29)Then Jesus replied to him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord: (30)and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. (31)And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these. (32)And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other besides him: (33)and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and sacrifices. (34)And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him. (35)And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David? (36)for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet. (37)David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.
