tcent - Luke:20:27-40

tcent@Luke:20:27 @ Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him,

tcent@Luke:20:28 @ and they questioned him, »Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a mans brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

tcent@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.

tcent@Luke:20:30 @ And the second

tcent@Luke:20:31 @ and then the third took her, and in the same way the seven died, and they left no children.

tcent@Luke:20:32 @ Finally the woman died also.

tcent@Luke:20:33 @ In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.«

tcent@Luke:20:34 @ And Jesus said to them, »The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

tcent@Luke:20:35 @ But those who are considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

tcent@Luke:20:36 @ nor can they die any more, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

tcent@Luke:20:37 @ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

tcent@Luke:20:38 @ Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to him.«

tcent@Luke:20:39 @ And some of the scribes answered, »Teacher, you have spoken well.«

tcent@Luke:20:40 @ For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
