Matthew 22:31

29 Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30 In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

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