23. The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and interrogated him, 24. Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, not having a child, 1392 his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 25.
Now there were amongst us seven brothers, and the first, having married a wife, died, and, having no seed, left his wife to his brother. 26.

And the seven took her, and did not leave seed. And last of all the wife died also. 23. In the resurrection, therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her for a wife. 24. And Jesus answering said to them, Is it not the reason why you err, that you do not know the Scriptures, nor the power of God? 25. For when 1392"Sans avoir enfans;" — "without having children."
