St Luke 20:34-47 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

34. And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

35. But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.

36. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

37. Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

38. For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.

39. And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.

40. And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.

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

42. And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

43. Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

44. David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?

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

46. Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:

47. Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
