Text
for this Sunday
Luke 20:25-38
He
said to them, ‘Then give to the emperor the things that are the
emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they
were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he
said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.
The Question about the Resurrection
Some
Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to himand
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.’
