And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.
And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine.
But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together.
And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
