But, in answer to their questions on this point, Jesus lifted the veil from the future life and said to them, “In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in Heaven.” He unhesitatingly showed that the Sadducees were wrong in their belief. He proved their premises to be false and the structure of their faith to be built upon a false foundation. “Ye do err,” said he, “not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” He did not charge them with hypocrisy as he had charged the Pharisees, but with error of belief. {3SP 49.1}

Men til svar på deres spørgsmål om denne sag løftede Jesus sløret fra det tilkommende liv og sagde til dem: "I opstandelsen tager de ikke til ægte, ej heller bortgiftes de, men de er som engle i Himmelen." (Matt 22,30) Han viste saddukæerne ufortøvet, at deres tro var fejl. Han beviste, at deres grundsætninger var fejlagtige, og at deres tro var bygget på en falsk grund. "I farer vild," sagde han, "i det I ikke kender skrifterne ej heller Guds kraft." Han beskyldte dem ikke for hykleri således som farisæerne, men for vildfarelse i troen.
