New Testament

Matthew 22:29-42 God's Word Translation (GW)

29. Jesus answered, “You’re mistaken because you don’t know the Scriptures or God’s power.

30. When people come back to life, they don’t marry. Rather, they are like the angels in heaven.

31. Haven’t you read what God told you about the dead coming back to life? He said,

32. ‘I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ He’s not the God of the dead but of the living.”

33. He amazed the crowds who heard his teaching.

34. When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

35. One of them, an expert in Moses’ Teachings, tested Jesus by asking,

36. “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in Moses’ Teachings?”

37. Jesus answered him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38. This is the greatest and most important commandment.

39. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’

40. All of Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41. While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them,

42. “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”They answered him, “David’s.”
