18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man ’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “\\\\\\\\\\\\No one dared ask him any question after that.
