¶ The same day the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no seed, left his wife unto his brother;
likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
And last of all the woman died also.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which is spoken unto you by God, who saith,
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.
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
¶ Then the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered together.
And one of them, who was an interpreter of the law, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
He said unto them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared anyone from that day forth ask him any more questions.
