Matthew 22:23-25

Contemporary English Version

Life in the Future World

(Mark 12.18-27; Luke 20.27-40)

^23 (A) The Sadducees did not believe people would rise to life after death. So that same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus and said:

^24 (B) Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother.

²⁵ Once there were seven brothers who lived here. The first one married, but died without having any children. So his wife was left to his brother.
