11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
12 And he said to him, Friend, how enteredest thou hither without bride clothes [And he saith to him, Friend, how enteredest thou hither, not having bride clothes]? And he was dumb.

25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.

29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 For in the rising again to life, neither they shall wed, neither shall be wedded [For in the rising again, neither they wed, neither be wedded]; but they be as the angels of God in heaven.
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

32 I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? he is not God of dead men, but of living men.

42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”“The son of David,” they replied.
43 He saith to them, How then David in spirit calleth him Lord, and saith [saying],

44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit [thou] on my right half, till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet?
44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:“Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’
45 Then if David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”
46 And no man might answer a word to him, neither any man was hardy from that day, to ask him more.
46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
