12 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

18Next Sadducees came to him. (It is they who say that there is no resurrection.) Their question was this: The Question about the Resurrection Mk.12.18-27 (Jerusalem) | Mt.22.23-33 | Lk.20.27-40Καὶ ἐρχονται Σαδδουκαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν, οἱτινες λέγουσιν ἀνάστασιν μὴ εἶναι, καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες,
19'Master, Moses laid it down for us that if there are brothers, and one dies leaving a wife but no child, then the next should marry the widow and carry on his brother's family. διδάσκαλε, μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν ὅτι ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ καὶ καταλίπῃ γυναῖκα καὶ μὴ ἀφῇ τέκνον, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
20Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without issue.  ἑπτὰ ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος ἐλαβεν γυναῖκα, καὶ ἀποθνῄσκων οὐκ ἀφῆκεν σπέρμα·
21Then the second married her, and he too died without issue. So did the third.  καὶ ὁ δεύτερος ἐλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν μὴ καταλιπὼν σπέρμα· καὶ ὁ τρίτος ὡσαύτως·
22Eventually the seven of them died, all without issue. Finally the woman died.  καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ οὐκ ἀφῆκαν σπέρμα. ἐσχατον πάντων καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
23At the resurrection, when they come back to life, whose wife will she be, since all seven had married her?'  ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει , ὁταν ἀναστῶσιν, τίνος αὐτῶν ἐσται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἐσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
24Jesus said to them, 'You are mistaken, and surely this is the reason: you do not know either the scriptures or the power of God.  ἐφη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐ διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε μὴ εἰδότες τὰς γραφὰς μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ θεοῦ;
25When they rise from the dead, men and women do not marry; they are like angels in heaven.  ὁταν γὰρ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῶσιν, οὐτε γαμοῦσιν οὐτε γαμίζονται, ἀλλ' εἰσὶν ὡς ἀγγελοι ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
26'But about the resurrection of the dead, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the story of the burning bush, how God spoke to him and said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"? περὶ δὲ τῶν νεκρῶν ὅτι ἐγείρονται οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ Μωϋσέως ἐπὶ τοῦ βάτου πῶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς λέγων, Ἐγὼ ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ καὶ θεὸς Ἰακώβ;
27God is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly mistaken.'
 οὐκ ἐστιν θεὸς νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πολὺ πλανᾶσθε.
