New Testament

Luke 20:25-45 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

25. And so, he said to them: "Then repay the things that are Caesar's, to Caesar, and the things that are God's, to God."

26. And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.

27. Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,

28. saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man's brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.

29. And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.

30. And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.

31. And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.

32. Last of all, the woman also died.

33. In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife."

36. For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.

37. For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: 'The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

38. And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him."

39. Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

40. And they no longer dared to question him about anything.

41. But he said to them: "How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?

42. Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,

43. until I set your enemies as your footstool.'

44. Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?"

45. Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
