The Question about the Resurrection
Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)
Mat 22:23–33
- 23 In that day Sadducees, that say there is no rising again to life, came to him, and asked him,
- 24 and said, Master, Moses said, if any man is dead, not having a son, that his brother wed his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
- 25 And there were seven brethren to us; and the first wedded a wife, and is dead. And he had no seed, and left his wife to his brother;
- 26 also the second, and the third, till to the seventh.
- 27 But the last of all, also the woman is dead.
- 28 Also or Therefore in the rising again to life, whose wife of the seven shall she be? for all had her.
- 29 Jesus answered, and said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the virtue of God.
- 30 For in the rising again to life, neither they shall wed, neither shall be wedded; but they be as the angels of God in heaven.
- 31 And of the rising again of dead men, have ye not read, that it is said of the Lord, that saith to you,
- 32 I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? he is not God of dead men, but of living men.
- 33 And the people hearing, wondered on his teaching.
Mrk 12:18–27
- 18 And Sadducees, that say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and asked him, and said,
- 19 Master, Moses wrote to us, that if the brother of a man were dead, and left his wife, and have no sons, his brother take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
- 20 Then seven brethren there were; and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
- 21 And the second took her, and died, and neither he left seed. And the third also.
- 22 And in like manner the seven took her, and left no seed. And the woman the last of all died.
- 23 Then in the resurrection, when they shall rise again, whose wife of these shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
- 24 And Jesus answered, and said to them, Whether ye err not therefore, that ye know not the scriptures, neither the virtue of God?
- 25 For when they shall rise again from death, neither they shall wed, nor shall be wedded, but they shall be as angels of God in heavens or in heaven.
- 26 And of dead men, that they rise again, have ye not read in the book of Moses, on the bush, how God spake to him, and said, I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob?
- 27 He is not God of dead men, but of living men; therefore ye err much.
Luk 20:27–40
- 27 Some of the Sadducees, that denied the again-rising from death to life or the resurrection, came, and asked him.
- 28 and said, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man have a wife, and he be dead or died, and he was without heirs or free children, that his brother take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
- 29 And so there were seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead without heirs, or without sons, or free children;
- 30 and the brother pursuing took her or the second took her, and he is dead without son;
- 31 and the third took her; also and all seven, and they left not seed or no seed, but be dead;
- 32 and the last of all the woman is dead.
- 33 Therefore in the rising again, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
- 34 And Jesus said to them, Sons of this world wed, and be given to weddings;
- 35 but they that shall be had worthy of that world, and of the rising again from death, neither be wedded, nor wed wives,
- 36 neither they shall be able to die more; for they be even with angels, and be the sons of God, since they be the sons of the rising again from death.
- 37 And that dead men rise again, also Moses showed beside the bush, as he saith, The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
- 38 And God is not of dead men, but of living men; for all men live to him.
- 39 And some of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
- 40 And they durst no more ask him anything.
