Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.

And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying,

Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees— religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:

Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and questioned him:

Some Sadducees( who say that there is no resurrection)* came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him:

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Sadducees( who say there is no resurrection) also came to him and asked him,

Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,

That same day the Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead.“ Teacher,” they said,“ here is what Moses told us. If a man dies without having children, his brother must get married to the widow. He must provide children to carry on his brother’s name.There were seven brothers among us. The first one got married and died. Since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers. It happened right on down to the seventh brother.Finally, the woman died.Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her.”Jesus replied,“ You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God.When the dead rise, they won’t get married. And their parents won’t give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.What about the dead rising? Haven’t you read what God said to you?He said,‘ I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.’( Exodus 3:6) He is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living.”When the crowds heard this, they were amazed by what he taught.

Peter and John were speaking to the people. The priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to the apostles.They were very upset by what the apostles were teaching the people. The apostles were saying that people can be raised from the dead. They said this can happen because Jesus rose from the dead.

If no one rises from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, what we preach doesn’t mean anything. Your faith doesn’t mean anything either.More than that, we would be lying about God. We are witnesses that God raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if the dead are not raised.If the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.And if Christ has not been raised, your faith doesn’t mean anything. Your sins have not been forgiven.Those who have died believing in Christ are also lost.

They have turned away from the truth. They say that the time when people will rise from the dead has already come. They destroy the faith of some people.

Paul knew that some of them were Sadducees and the others were Pharisees. So he called out to the members of the Sanhedrin.“ My brothers,” he said,“ I am a Pharisee. I come from a family of Pharisees. I believe that people will rise from the dead. That’s why I am on trial.”When he said this, the Pharisees and the Sadducees started to argue. They began to take sides.The Sadducees say that people will not rise from the dead. They don’t believe there are angels or spirits either. But the Pharisees believe all these things.People were causing trouble and making a lot of noise. Some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up. They argued strongly.“ We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said.“ What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

The Sadducees do not believe that people rise from the dead. Some of them came to Jesus with a question.“ Teacher,” they said,“ Moses wrote for us about a man’s brother who dies. Suppose the brother leaves a wife but has no children. Then the man must marry the widow. He must provide children to carry on his dead brother’s name.There were seven brothers. The first one married a woman. He died without leaving any children.The second one married her.And then the third one married her. One after another, the seven brothers married her. They all died. None left any children.Finally, the woman died too.Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven brothers were married to her.”Jesus replied,“ People in this world get married. And their parents give them to be married.But it will not be like that when the dead rise. Those who are considered worthy to take part in the world to come won’t get married. And their parents won’t give them to be married.They can’t die anymore. They are like the angels. They are God’s children. They will be given a new form of life when the dead rise.Remember the story of Moses and the burning bush. Even Moses showed that the dead rise. The Lord said to him,‘ I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.’( Exodus 3:6)He is not the God of the dead. He is the God of the living. In his eyes, everyone is alive.”Some of the teachers of the law replied,“ You have spoken well, teacher!”And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
