Luke 20:27-47 ▼

27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection (rising again), came to question Him.

28 “Teacher {Didaskale}, they said, “Moses (drawn out) wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring (seed) for him .

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30 Then the second [married the widow, and he also died,]

31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32 And last of all, the woman died.

33 So then, in the resurrection (rising again), whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.

34 Jesus (YHWH saves) answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection (rising again) from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection (rising again), they are sons of God {Theou}.

37 Even Moses (drawn out) demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord {Kyrion} ‘the God {Theon} of Abraham (father of many), the God of Isaac (he will laugh), and the God of Jacob .’

38 He is not the God {Theos} of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.

39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher {Didaskale}, You have spoken well!

40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ (the Anointed One) is the Son of David (beloved)?

42 For David (beloved) himself says in the book (papyrus roll) of Psalms: ‘The Lord {Kyrios} said to my Lord {Kyriō}, “Sit at My right hand

43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet .”’

44 Thus David (beloved) calls Him ‘Lord {Kyrion}.’ So how can He be David’s son?

45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples (pupils),

46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love {philountōn} the greetings in the marketplaces (town square), the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47 They defraud widows of their houses \They devour widows’ houses/, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.
