Luke 20:33-43

33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
34 And Jesus said to them, 1"The sons of this age 2marry and 3are given in marriage,
35 but those who are 4considered worthy to attain to 5that age and to the resurrection from the dead 6neither marry 7nor are given in marriage,
36 for 8they cannot die anymore, because they are 9equal to angels and 10are 11sons of God, being 12sons[a] of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, 13even Moses showed, in 14the passage about the bush, where he calls 15the 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 16live to him."
39 Then some of the scribes 17answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
40 For 18they no longer dared to ask him any question.

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 19But he said to them, "How can they say that 20the Christ is 21David's son?
42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, 22"'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 until I make your enemies 23your footstool.'
