Luke 20:27-44

Common English Bible CEB

27 Some Sadducees, who deny that there's a resurrection, came to Jesus and asked,

28 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies leaving a widow but no children, the brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first man married a woman and then died childless.

30 The second

31 and then the third brother married her. Eventually all seven married her, and they all died without leaving any children.

32 Finally, the woman died too.

33 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her."

34 Jesus said to them, "People who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage.

35 But those who are considered worthy to participate in that age, that is, in the age of the resurrection from the dead, won't marry nor will they be given in marriage.

36 They can no longer die, because they are like angels and are God's children since they share in the resurrection.

37 Even Moses demonstrated that the dead are raised—in the passage about the burning bush, when he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 He isn't the God of the dead but of the living. To him they are all alive."

39 Some of the legal experts responded, "Teacher, you have answered well."

40 No one dared to ask him anything else.

41 Jesus said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?

42 David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side

43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'

44 Since David calls him ‘Lord,' how can he be David's son?"

New International Version NIV

27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.

28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.

30 The second

31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.

32 Finally, the woman died too.

33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,

36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”

40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

41 Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?

42 David himself declares 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 calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
