Text for this WeekLuke 20:27-44
The Question about the Resurrection
Some
Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a
question, ‘Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a
wife but no children, the man shall
marry the widow and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers;
the first married, and died childless; then the second and the third married her, and so in the same
way all seven died childless. Finally
the woman also died. In
the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had
married her.’
Jesus
said to them, ‘Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are considered
worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither
marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed they cannot die any more, because they
are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. And the fact that the dead
are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks
of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Now he is God not of the
dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive.’ Then some of the scribes
answered, ‘Teacher, you have spoken well.’ For they no longer dared to ask him another
question.
The Question about David’s Son
Then
he said to them, ‘How can they say that the Messiah is David’s son? For David himself says in the
book of Psalms,
“The Lord said to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.’ ”
David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?’
“The Lord said to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.’ ”
David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?’
