If you use a better Google than S. Checker was able to call up, it
leads you to this New International Version (translation).
A group of people asked Jesus just that question - he gave a brief
answer then jumped to a "never mind" brush-off.

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came
to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that
if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the
widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers
among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no
children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened
to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27
Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife
will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the
Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will
neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels
in heaven. 31 But about 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’[b]? He is not the God of the dead but of the
living.”
