We hear Jesus educating the Sadducee who came to him with a cleverly made up query on life after life and on the prospective marital status of souls in heaven in Mk 12:24-25 (KJV) :
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
One does not, unfortunately find footnotes under vv. 24-25 which would otherwise give a hint as to which Scripture, according to Jesus, the Sadducee were ignorant of.
My question therefore is: Which verses in the OT was Jesus referring to in Mk 12: 24-25, where he scolded the Sadducee for being ignorant of the Scriptures?
