Matthew 22 — Context

But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living.

And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

Master, which is the chief rule in the law?

And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
