Matthew 22:23-33
That same day some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up to him and questioned him:“ Teacher, Moses said, if a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first got married and died. Having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.The same thing happened to the second also, and the third, and so on to all seven.Last of all, the woman died.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had married her.”Jesus answered them,“ You are mistaken, because you don’t know the Scriptures or the power of God.For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God: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 when the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

Acts 4:1-2
While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple police, and the Sadducees confronted them,because they were annoyed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

1 Corinthians 15 13-1 Corinthians 15 18
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain, and so is your faith.Moreover, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified wrongly about God that he raised up Christ— whom he did not raise up, if in fact the dead are not raised.For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.Those, then, who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.

2 Timothy 2 18
They have departed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are ruining the faith of some.

Acts 23:6-9
When Paul realized that one part of them were Sadducees and the other part were Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin,“ Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being judged because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead!”When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit, but the Pharisees affirm them all.The shouting grew loud, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party got up and argued vehemently,“ We find nothing evil in this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

Luke 20:27-40
Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him:“ Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.Also the secondand the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.Finally, the woman died too.In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”Jesus told them,“ The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord 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, because all are living to him.”Some of the scribes answered,“ Teacher, you have spoken well.”And they no longer dared to ask him anything.
