^123:1 I lift my eyes to you, to you who have your home in heaven,

^123:2 eyes like the eyes of slaves fixed on their master’s hand; like the eyes of a slave-girl fixed on the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are fixed on Yahweh our God, for him to take pity on us;

^123:3 pity us, Yahweh, take pity on us, we have had more than our share of scorn,

^123:4 more than our share of jeers from the complacent, of scorn from the proud.

^12:18 Then some Sadducees – who deny that there is a resurrection – came to him and they put this question to him,

^12:19 ‘Master, we have it from Moses in writing, if a man’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child, the man must marry the widow to raise up children for his brother.

^12:20 Now there were seven brothers. The first married a wife and then died leaving no children.

^12:21 The second married the widow, and he too died leaving no children; with the third it was the same,

^12:22 and none of the seven left any children. Last of all the woman herself died.

^12:23 Now at the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be, since she had been married to all seven?’

^12:24 Jesus said to them, ‘Is not the reason why you go wrong, that you understand neither the scriptures nor the power of God?

^12:25 For when they rise from the dead, men and women do not marry; no, they are like the angels in heaven.

^12:26 Now about the dead rising again, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him and said: I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?[*b]

^12:27 He is God, not of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken.’
