Sadducees Question the Resurrection
(Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40) | 23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. | 23The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, | 23On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him, | 23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, | 23The same day some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up to Him and questioned Him:" |
| 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. | 24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ | 24asking, "Teacher, Moses said, 'IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.' | 24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. | 24Teacher, Moses said, if a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. |
| 25Now 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. | 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. | 25"Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; | 25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: | 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first got married and died. Having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother. |
| 26The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. | 26So too the second and third, down to the seventh. | 26so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. | 26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. | 26The same happened to the second also, and the third, and so to all seven. |
| 27Finally, the woman died. | 27After them all, the woman died. | 27"Last of all, the woman died. | 27And last of all the woman died also. | 27Then last of all the woman died. |
| 28Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?" | 28In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” | 28"In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her." | 28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. | 28In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had married her." |
| 29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. | 29But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. | 29But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. | 29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. | 29Jesus answered them, "You are deceived, because you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God. |
| 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. | 30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. | 30"For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. | 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. | 30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven. |
| 31But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you, | 31And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: | 31"But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: | 31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, | 31Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read what was spoken to you by God: |
| 32I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." | 32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” | 32'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB '? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." | 32I 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. | 32I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living." |
| 33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching. | 33And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. | 33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching. | 33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. | 33And when the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching. |

| 42"What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. | 42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” | 42"What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, "The son of David." | 42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. | 42"What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?"" David's," they told Him. |
| 43He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, | 43He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, | 43He said to them, "Then how does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying, | 43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, | 43He asked them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls Him 'Lord: |
| 44"'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."' | 44“‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”’? | 44'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET "'? | 44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? | 44The Lord declared to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet? |
| 45If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" | 45If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” | 45"If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?" | 45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? | 45"If David calls Him 'Lord,' how then can the Messiah be his Son?" |
| 46No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions. | 46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions. | 46No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question. | 46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. | 46No one was able to answer Him at all, and from that day no one dared to question Him anymore. |
