Luke 20:24-45

²⁴Shewe ye to me a peny; whos ymage and superscripcioun hath it? Thei answerden, and seiden to hym, The emperouris.

²⁵And he seide to hem, Yelde ye therfor to the emperoure tho thingis that ben the emperours, and tho thingis that ben of God, to God.

²⁶And thei myyten not repreue his word bifor the puple; and thei wondriden in his answere, and heelden pees.

²⁷Summe of the Saduceis, that denyeden the ayenrisyng fro deeth to lijf, camen, and axiden hym,

²⁸and seiden, Maister, Moises wroot to vs, if the brother of ony man haue a wijf, and be deed, and he was with outen eiris, that his brothir take his wijf, and reise seed to his brother.

²⁹And so there weren seuene britheren. The firste took a wijf, and is deed with outen eiris;

³⁰and the brothir suynge took hir, and he is deed with outen sone;

³¹and the thridde took hir; also and alle seuene, and leften not seed, but ben deed;

³²and the laste of alle the womman is deed.

³³Therfor in the `risyng ayen, whos wijf of hem schal sche be? for seuene hadden hir to wijf.

³⁴And Jhesus seide to hem, Sones of this world wedden, and ben youun to weddyngis;

³⁵but thei that schulen be had worthi of that world, and of the `risyng ayen fro deeth, nethir ben wedded,

³⁶nethir wedden wyues, nethir schulen mowe die more; for thei ben euen with aungels, and ben the sones of God, sithen thei ben the sones of `risyng ayen fro deeth.

³⁷And that deed men risen ayen, also Moises schewide bisidis the busch, as he seith, The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob.

³⁸And God is not of deed men, but of lyuynge men; for alle men lyuen to hym.

³⁹And summe of scribis answeringe, seiden, Maistir, thou hast wel seid.

⁴⁰And thei dursten no more axe hym ony thing.

⁴¹But he seide to hem, How seien men, Crist to be the sone of Dauid,

⁴²and Dauid hym silf seith in the book of Salmes, The Lord seide to my lord, Sitte thou on my riythalf,

⁴³til that Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet?

⁴⁴Therfor Dauid clepith hym lord, and hou is he his sone?

⁴⁵And in heryng of al the puple, he seide to hise disciplis,
