Mark 12:23-39

23 In the Resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

24 Yeshua said to them, "Isn't this the reason that you go astray? because you are ignorant both of the Tanakh and of the power of God?

25 For when people rise from the dead, neither men nor women marry -- they are like angels in heaven.

26 And as for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moshe, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya`akov'?

27 He is God not of the dead, but of the living! You are going far astray!"

28 One of the Torah-teachers came up and heard them engaged in this discussion. Seeing that Yeshua answered them well, he asked him, "Which is the most important mitzvah of them all?"

35 As Yeshua was teaching in the Temple, he asked, "How is it that the Torah teachers say the Messiah is the Son of David?

36 David himself, inspired by the Ruach HaKodesh, said, `ADONAI said to my Lord, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '

37 David himself calls him `Lord'; so how is he his son?" The great crowd listened eagerly to him.

38 As he taught them, he said, "Watch out for the kind of Torah-teachers who like to walk around in robes and be greeted deferen tially in the marketplaces,

39 who like to have the best seats in the synagogues and take the places of honor at banquets,
