"It was also said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.'
(Mat 5:31 GNB)
But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.
(Mat 5:32 GNB)
Jesus answered, "Moses gave you permission to divorce your wives because you are so hard to teach. But it was not like that at the time of creation.
(Mat 19:8 GNB)
I tell you, then, that any man who divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, commits adultery if he marries some other woman."
(Mat 19:9 GNB)
"Teacher," they said, "Moses said that if a man who has no children dies, his brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the dead man's children.
(Mat 22:24 GNB)
Now, there were seven brothers who used to live here. The oldest got married and died without having children, so he left his widow to his brother.
(Mat 22:25 GNB)
The same thing happened to the second brother, to the third, and finally to all seven.
(Mat 22:26 GNB)
Last of all, the woman died.
(Mat 22:27 GNB)
Now, on the day when the dead rise to life, whose wife will she be? All of them had married her."
(Mat 22:28 GNB)
Jesus answered them, "How wrong you are! It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.
(Mat 22:29 GNB)
For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry.
(Mat 22:30 GNB)
Now, as for the dead rising to life: haven't you ever read what God has told you? He said,
(Mat 22:31 GNB)
'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' He is the God of the living, not of the dead."
(Mat 22:32 GNB)
"Teacher, Moses wrote this law for us: 'If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, that man's brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the dead man's children.'
(Mar 12:19 GNB)
Once there were seven brothers; the oldest got married and died without having children.
(Mar 12:20 GNB)
Then the second one married the woman, and he also died without having children. The same thing happened to the third brother,
(Mar 12:21 GNB)
and then to the rest: all seven brothers married the woman and died without having children. Last of all, the woman died.
(Mar 12:22 GNB)
Now, when all the dead rise to life on the day of resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her."
(Mar 12:23 GNB)
Jesus answered them, "How wrong you are! And do you know why? It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.
(Mar 12:24 GNB)
For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry.
(Mar 12:25 GNB)
Now, as for the dead being raised: haven't you ever read in the Book of Moses the passage about the burning bush? There it is written that God said to Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
(Mar 12:26 GNB)
He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You are completely wrong!"
(Mar 12:27 GNB)
