Mark 12:19-25 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

19. “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and had no children, his brother must marry the woman. Then they will have children for the dead brother.

20. There were seven brothers. The first brother married but died. He had no children.

21. So the second brother married the woman. But he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother.

22. All seven brothers married the woman and died. None of the brothers had any children with her. And she was the last to die.

23. But all seven brothers had married her. So at the time when people rise from death, whose wife will she be?”

24. Jesus answered, “How could you be so wrong? It’s because you don’t know what the Scriptures say. And you don’t know anything about God’s power.

25. When people rise from death, there will be no marriage. People will not be married to each other. All people will be like angels in heaven.
