New Testament

Luke 20:37-47 New English Translation (NET)

37. But even Moses revealed that the dead are raised in the passage about the bush, where 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 before him.”

39. Then some of the experts in the law answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well!”

40. For they did not dare any longer to ask him anything.

41. But he said to them, “How is it that 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. If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”

45. As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

46. “Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

47. They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”
