Mark 12:26-27 ESV
(26) And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? (27) He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You [Sadducees] are quite wrong." [For failing to believe in the resurrection.]

Mark 12:26-27 CEV
(26) You surely know about people being raised to life. You know that in the story about Moses and the burning bush, God said, "I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (27) He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living. You Sadducees are all wrong. [For failing to believe in the resurrection.]

Mark 12:26-27 NWT
26 But concerning the dead, that they are raised up, did you not read in the book of Moses, in the account about the thornbush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob'? 27 He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living. You [Sadducees] are much mistaken." [For failing to believe in the resurrection.]

Mark 12:26-27 BBE
(26) But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (27) He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you [Sadducees] are greatly in error. [For failing to believe in the resurrection.]

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
