Luke 20:32-47 ▼

32 Finally, the woman died, too.

33 Now in the resurrection, whose wife will the woman be, since the seven had married her?|

34 Jesus told them, |Those who belong to this age marry and are married,

35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

36 Nor can they die anymore, because they are like the angels and, since they share in the resurrection, are God's children.

37 Even Moses demonstrated in the story about the bush that the dead are raised, when he calls the Lord, 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, because he considers all people to be alive to him.|

39 Then some of the scribes replied, |Teacher, you have given a fine answer.|

40 Then they no longer dared to ask him another question.

41 Then he asked them, |How can people say that the Messiah is David's son?

42 Because David himself in the book of Psalms says, 'The Lord told my Lord, |Sit at my right hand,

43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.|'

44 So David calls him 'Lord.' Then how can he be his son?|

45 While all the people were listening, he told his disciples,

46 |Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

47 They devour widows' houses and say long prayers to cover it up. They will receive greater condemnation!|
