Lukas 20:25-43 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. And he said to them, Then give the things of Caesar to Caesar and the things of Hashem to Hashem.

26. And they were not able to catch him in his dvar before the people and, having been mishpoyel (marveled) at his teshuva (answer), they were silent.

27. And some of the Tzedukim--the Tzedukim are the ones speaking against the Techiyas HaMesim, who say there is none--approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. They set a she'elah (question) before him,

28. Saying, Rabbi, Moshe Rabbenu laid it down in writing to us, if someone's ach dies and has an isha, and UVEN EIN LO (and there is no son to him), that he should take the almanah of his ach and he should raise up a zera (seed) to his ach. [Dt 25:5]

29. Now there were shiva achim. And the first took an isha, and died UVEN EIN LO (and there is no son to him).

30. And the second took her to be his isha, and he died childless.

31. And the third took her; and likewise also the seventh did not leave behind a ben and they all died.

32. And lemaskana (finally) the isha died.

33. The isha, then, in the Techiyas HaMesim, of which of them does she become the wife? For shiva had her as isha (wife).

34. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, The banim of the Olam Hazeh marry and are given in marriage:

35. But the ones having been considered worthy to attain to the Olam HaBah and the Techiyas HaMesim neither marry nor are given in marriage.

36. For neither is it possible any longer for them to die, for they are like malachim and they are bnei haElohim, being bnei haTechiyas HaMesim.

37. But that the Mesim are made to stand up alive, even Moshe revealed at the burning bush, as he calls Adonoi ELOHEI AVRAHAM ELOHEI YITZCHAK VELOHEI YAAKOV. [SHEMOT 3:6]

38. But Hashem is not the G-d of Mesim but is Elohei HaChayyim, for to Hashem all are alive.

39. And, in reply, some of the Sofrim said, Rabbi, you spoke well.

40. For no longer were they daring to set a she'elah (question) before him regarding anything.

41. And he said to them, How do they say that the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach is to be [merely] Dovid's ben?

42. For Dovid himself says in the book of Tehillim, NEUM HASHEM LADONI: SHEV LIMINI,

43. AD ASHIT OYVECHA L'RAGLECHA. [TEHILLIM 110:1]
