New International Version NIV
27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him,
27
Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto 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 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children.
29
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30 And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless.
30
The second
31 And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died.
31
and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
32
Finally, the woman died too.
33 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
33
Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34 And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage:
34
Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives.
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 Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children 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 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called 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 For 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 And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
39
Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”
40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
40
And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
41 But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
41
Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
42
David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
43
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
44 David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son?
44
David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
45
While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes and love salutations in the market place and the first chairs in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts:
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 the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
47
They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
