24Jesus said to them, “Is this not why you are mistaken—because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?

25For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

26As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God said to Moses, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?

27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are greatly mistaken.”
