Mark 12:26

²⁴ Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

²⁵ When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘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 of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

²⁸ Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
