Luke 20:27-40

271NowG1161 someG5100 of the 2SadduceesG4523 (who maintainG483 that there is noG3361 resurrectionG386) cameG4334 to Him, 28and they questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 wroteG1125 for us that 3ifG1437 4a man’sG5100 brotherG80 diesG599, 5leavingG2192 a wifeG1135, and he is childlessG815, that his brotherG80 is to 6marryG2983 the wifeG1135 and raiseG1817 upG1817 childrenG4690 7for his brotherG80. 29SoG3767 thenG3767, there were sevenG2033 brothersG80; and the firstG4413 tookG2983 a wifeG1135 and diedG599 childlessG815; 30and the secondG1208 31and the thirdG5154 8marriedG2983 her; and in the sameG5615 wayG5615 9allG3588 sevenG2033 10diedG599, leavingG2641 noG3756 childrenG5043. 32FinallyG5305 the womanG1135 alsoG2532 diedG599. 33ThereforeG3767, in the resurrectionG386, 11whichG5101 one’sG846 wifeG1135 does the woman becomeG1096? For 12allG3588 sevenG2033 13marriedG2192G1135 her.”

34JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “The sonsG5207 of 14thisG3778 ageG165 marryG1060 and the women are givenG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061, 35but thoseG3588 who are consideredG2661 worthyG2661 to attainG5177 to 15that ageG165 and the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498, neitherG3777 marryG1060 norG3777 are givenG1061 inG1061 marriageG1061; 36for they cannotG1410G3761 evenG3761 dieG599 anymoreG2089, for they are likeG2465 angelsG2465, and are 16sonsG5207 of GodG2316, beingG1510 17sonsG5207 of the resurrectionG386. 37But as for theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 the deadG3498 are raisedG1453, evenG2532 MosesG3475 revealedG3377 this in 18the passage about the burning bushG942, whereG5613 he callsG3004 the LordG2962 19the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384. 3820NowG1161 He is not the GodG2316 of the deadG3498, but of the livingG2198; for 21allG3956 liveG2198 to Him.” 39SomeG5100 of the scribesG1122 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “TeacherG1320, You have spokenG3004 wellG2573.” 40For 22they did not haveG5111 the courageG5111 to questionG1905 Him anyG3765 longerG3765 about anythingG3762.
