31. But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken by God, saying to you:
32. 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' He is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
33. And when the crowds heard this, they wondered at his doctrine.
34. But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.
35. And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:
36. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
37. Jesus said to him: " 'You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
38. This is the greatest and first commandment.
39. But the second is similar to it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40. On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets."
41. Then, when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them,
42. saying: "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."
43. He said to them: "Then how can David, in the Spirit, call him Lord, saying:
44. 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?'
45. So then, if David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?"
46. And no one was able to respond to him a word. And neither did anyone dare, from that day forward, to question him.
