New Testament

Luke 20:35-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives.

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:

46. "Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,

47. who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation."
