Matthew 22:29-33 NWT
29 In reply Jesus said to them: "YOU are mistaken, because YOU know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God; 30 for in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 31 As regards the resurrection of the dead, did YOU not read what was spoken to YOU by God, saying, 32 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living." 33 On hearing [that], the crowds were astounded at his teaching.

Matthew 22:29-33 ALT
(29) But answering, Jesus said to them, "You are led astray [fig., are mistaken], not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. (30) "For in the resurrection neither do they marry, nor are they given in marriage, _but_ they are like angels of God in heaven. (31) "But concerning the resurrection of the dead, you* read the [word] spoken to you* by God, saying, (32) '_I_ am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob,' did you* not? God is not a God of dead [ones], _but_ of living [ones]!" [Exod 3:6] (33) And having heard, the crowds were astonished at His teaching.

Matthew 22:29-33 BBE
(29) But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God. (30) For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven. (31) But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings: (32) I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living. (33) And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

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.
