18And the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him, saying:
19“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if any man’s brother will have died and left behind a wife, and not have left behind sons, his brother should take his wife to himself and should raise up offspring for his brother.
20So then, there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without leaving behind offspring.
21And the second took her, and he died. And neither did he leave behind offspring. And the third acted similarly.
22And in like manner, each of the seven received her and did not leave behind offspring. Last of all, the woman also died.
23Therefore, in the resurrection, when they will rise again, to which of them will she be a wife? For each of the seven had her as wife.”
24And Jesus responded by saying to them: “But have you not gone astray, by knowing neither the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25For when they will be resurrected from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be given in marriage, but they are like the Angels in heaven.
26But concerning the dead who rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him from the bush, saying: ‘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. Therefore, you have gone far astray.”

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
