Mark 12:18-25 Some Sadducees, the party that denies any possibility of resurrection, came up and asked, 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man dies and leaves a wife but no child, his brother is obligated to marry the widow and have children. 20 Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless. 21 The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third. 22 All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died. 23 When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband." 24 Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works. 25 After the dead are raised up, we're past the marriage business. As it is with angels now, all our ecstasies and intimacies then will be with God.
