He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: you therefore do greatly err. Treasury of Scripture is not. Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who vivifies the dead... Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. Hebrews 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them... ye. Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said to them, Do you not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? Proverbs 19:27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to err from the words of knowledge. Hebrews 3:10 Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
Context The Sadducees Question the Resurrection
18Then come to him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 20Now there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24And Jesus answering said to them, Do you not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26And as touching the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, 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 the God of the living: you therefore do greatly err.
