Luke 20:31-47 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

31. and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.

32. Finally the woman also died.

33. Therefore in the resurrection, the woman—whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”

34. And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

35. but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

36. for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.

37. But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

38. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!”

39. And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”

40. For they no longer dared to ask him anything.

41. But he said to them, “In what sense do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

42. For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

43. until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’

44. David therefore calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?”

45. And while all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,

46. “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,

47. who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”
