Luke 20:32-47 ▼

32 Last of all, the woman also died.

33 Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife.

34 And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage.

35 But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

36 For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection.

37 But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

39 And certain of the scribes answered and said: Teacher, thou hast answered well.

40 And after this they durst not ask him any question at all.

41 But he said to them: How say they that the Christ is the son of David?

42 Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

43 till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

44 David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?

45 And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples:

46 Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;

47 who eat up the houses of widows, and, for a pretext, make long prayers. These shall receive the greater condemnation.
