Luke 20:27-38 - Jesus speaks of the resurrection
20:27 Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him
20:28 and
asked him a question: "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's
brother dies leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the
widow and raise up children for his brother.
20:29 Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman and died childless;
20:30 then the second
20:31 and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless.
20:32 Finally the woman also died.
20:33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her."
20:34 Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage,
20:35 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.
20:36 Indeed, they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
20:37 And
the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story
about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
20:38 Now he is God not of the dead but of the living, for to him all of them are alive."
