Luke 20:33-47
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
34And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him."
39Then some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
41But he said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is David 's son?
42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "‘The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
45And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
47who devour widows ' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
