New International Version NIV
27 Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection ),
27
Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28 and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.
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; and the first took a wife and died childless;
29
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30 and the second
30
The second
31 and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
31
and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32 "Finally the woman died also.
32
Finally, the woman died too.
33 "In the resurrection therefore, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."
33
Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
34
Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor 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 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
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 that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.
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 "Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him."
38
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."
39
Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”
40 For they did not have courage to question Him any longer about anything.
40
And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41 Then He said to them, "How is it that they say the Christ is David's son?
41
Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?
42 "For David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD , "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
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."'
43
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
44 "Therefore David calls Him 'Lord ,' and how is He his son?"
44
David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
45 And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,
45
While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,
46
“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
47 who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
47
They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
