Luke 20:32-47 ▼

32 Finally the woman also died.

33 Therefore, in the resurrection, which one’s wife does the woman become? For all seven married her.”

34 Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and the women are given in marriage,

35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

36 for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37 But as for the fact that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed this in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

38 Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him.”

39 Some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”

40 For they did not have the courage to question Him any longer about anything.

41 But He said to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is David’s son?

42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

43 UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET.”’

44 Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord,’ and so how is He his son?”

45 And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love personal greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

47 who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive all the more condemnation.”
