Mark 12:27

25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but ^aare like angels in heaven.

26 But concerning the dead, that they ^arise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ^b‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly¹ mistaken.”

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?

28 ^aThen one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together,¹ perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the² first commandment of all?”

29 Jesus answered him, “The¹ first of all the commandments is: ^a‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
