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

撒都该人常说没有复活的事。他们来问耶稣说：

撒都该人来见耶稣。他们说没有复活这回事，于是问耶稣：

撒都该人来见耶稣。他们说没有复活这回事，于是问耶稣：

撒都该人向来不相信有复活的事，他们来问耶稣：

撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事，他们来到耶稣那里，问他：

接着，撒都该人来到耶稣那里，他们一向说没有复活的事。他们问耶稣，说：

撒都該人常說沒有復活的事。他們來問耶穌說：

撒都該人來見耶穌。他們說沒有復活這回事，於是問耶穌：

撒都該人來見耶穌。他們說沒有復活這回事，於是問耶穌：

撒都該人向來不相信有復活的事，他們來問耶穌：

撒都該人向來認為沒有復活的事，他們來到耶穌那裡，問他：

有說沒有復活之事的撒都該人來見耶穌，詰問他說：

接著，撒都該人來到耶穌那裡，他們一向說沒有復活的事。他們問耶穌，說：

有撒都該人、即言無復起者、就而問曰、

有［口撒］吐𡀲人、言無復生者、就而問曰、

撒度該人素言無復活者、其中數人、就耶穌問曰、

撒都責人常言無復活事、或問耶穌曰：

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

The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead.

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

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 Jesus was approached by some Sadducees— religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:“ Teacher, Moses said,‘ If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.’Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children, so his brother married the widow.But the second brother also died, and the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them.Last of all, the woman also died.So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.”Jesus replied,“ Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.“ But now, as to whether there will be a resurrection of the dead— haven’t you ever read about this in the Scriptures? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said,‘ I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So he is the God of the living, not the dead.”When the crowds heard him, they were astounded at his teaching.

While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees.These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a resurrection of the dead.

For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either.And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.And we apostles would all be lying about God— for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead.And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost!

They have left the path of truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way, they have turned some people away from the faith.

Paul realized that some members of the high council were Sadducees and some were Pharisees, so he shouted,“ Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were my ancestors! And I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!”This divided the council— the Pharisees against the Sadducees—for the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, but the Pharisees believe in all of these.So there was a great uproar. Some of the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees jumped up and began to argue forcefully.“ We see nothing wrong with him,” they shouted.“ Perhaps a spirit or an angel spoke to him.”

Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees— religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead.They posed this question:“ Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children.So the second brother married the widow, but he also died.Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, who died without children.Finally, the woman also died.So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her!”Jesus replied,“ Marriage is for people here on earth.But in the age to come, those worthy of being raised from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.And they will never die again. In this respect they will be like angels. They are children of God and children of the resurrection.“ But now, as to whether the dead will be raised— even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, he referred to the Lord as‘ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’So he is the God of the living, not the dead, for they are all alive to him.”“ Well said, Teacher!” remarked some of the teachers of religious law who were standing there.And then no one dared to ask him any more questions.
