New Testament

Matthew 22:31-36 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

31. "What about the dead rising? Haven't you read what God said to you?

33. When the crowds heard this, they were amazed by what he taught.

35. One of them was an authority on the law. So he tested Jesus with a question.

36. "Teacher," he asked, "which is the most important commandment in the Law?"
