Luke 20:37-47 ▼

37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For 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, for to Him all are alive.”

39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, 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 is the Son of David?

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 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

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

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

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