Luke 20:27-47

Darby Translation

²⁷ And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to him],

²⁸ demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁹ There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;

³⁰ and the second [took the woman, and *he* died childless];

³¹ and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;

³² and last of all the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage,

³⁵ but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

³⁶ for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

³⁸ but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.

³⁹ And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.

⁴⁰ For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.

⁴¹ And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

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

⁴³ until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

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

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

⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;

⁴⁷ who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
