Mark 12:16-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. They brought one to him and he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”

17. So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him.

18. Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and put this question to him,

19. saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If someone’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother.’

20. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants.

21. So the second married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise.

22. And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died.

23. At the resurrection [when they arise] whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.”

24. Jesus said to them, “Are you not misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?

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