Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

and come forth; those who have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with the image of You.

Like sheep they are appointed to the grave; death shall shepherd them, and the upright shall have the rule over them in the morning; their form is consumed; Sheol is their home.

But God will redeem my soul from the hand of Sheol; for He will carry me away. Selah.

He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He will take away from all the earth the rebuke of His people. For Jehovah has spoken.

Your dead ones shall live, together with My dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is as the dew of the light, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

The hand of Jehovah was upon me and brought me out by the Spirit of Jehovah, and made me rest in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? So I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

Then He said to me, Prophesy to the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.

And many of those sleeping in the earth's dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.

And the prudent shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever.

After two days He will restore us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His presence.

I will ransom them from the hand of Sheol; I will redeem them from death. O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Sorrow is hidden from My eyes.

The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him,

Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no seed, left his wife to his brother.

Last of all the woman died also.

Jesus answered and said to them, You are in error, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

And you will be blessed, because they do not have the means to repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

because He has established a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed. He has given assurance of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some ridiculed, while others said, We will hear you again concerning this matter.

But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!

For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection; and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

I have hope in God, which they themselves also admit, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.

Women received their dead raised to life again. And others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
