Jesus confronts the Sadducees about the resurrection

In this episode, Jesus engages in a controversy with the Sadducees, a group that rejects the idea of the resurrection. They present a scripture puzzle to try and trap Jesus, but he responds by challenging their lack of understanding of the scriptures and their limited imagination of God's power. Jesus uses the example of God identifying himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to demonstrate that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. He argues that the resurrection is not just a continuation of earthly life, but a transformation into a new creation. Jesus emphasizes that in the new creation, there will be no marriage as we currently know it, but love will remain at the center of everything.
