[Jesus answers the Sadducees’ -religious leaders who say there is no resurrection (v.18)] 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 angels in heaven. “
“But now, as to whether the dead will be raised – haven’t you ever read about this in the writings of Moses, in the story of the burning bush? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob died, God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So He is the God of all the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error.” (vv. 24-27, NLT)
