New Testament

Matthew 22:29-46 Common English Bible (CEB)

29. Jesus responded, "You are wrong because you don’t know either the scriptures or God’s power.

30. At the resurrection people won’t marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like angels from God.

31. As for the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what God told you,

32. I’m the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He isn’t the God of the dead but of the living."

33. Now when the crowd heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

34. When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had left the Sadducees speechless, they met together.

35. One of them, a legal expert, tested him.

36. "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

37. He replied, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind.

38. This is the first and greatest commandment.

39. And the second is like it: You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.

40. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands."

41. Now as the Pharisees were gathering, Jesus asked them,

42. "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?""David’s son," they replied.

43. He said, "Then how is it that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, called him Lord when he said,

44. The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I turn your enemies into your footstool’?

45. If David calls him Lord, how can he be David’s son?"

46. Nobody was able to answer him. And from that day forward nobody dared to ask him anything.
