9.
And some of the Sadducees approached (Jesus). These are the people who claim that there is no resurrection. They questioned him saying "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a brother dies childless and he has a wife then his brother should take the wife and raise up seed for his brother. Therefore there were seven brothers. The first, having taken a wife, died childless. The second and the third took her. And similarly also the seven died and did not leave any children. Lastly the woman also died. What of the woman therefore in the resurrection. Whose wife does she become for all seven have had
her as wife." Jesus said to them

"The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But of the ones who are counted worthy of that age of resurrection out of the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They cannot die because they equal to angels. They are sons of God and of resurrection. But of those that are raised from the dead, even Moses pointed out (something about them) at the bush. He calls the Lord, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. He is not God of dead persons but rather of the living." And so answering this some of the
scribes said "Teacher you speak well." And they did not dare to question him further.
