Luke 20:24-45 in English

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.

²⁶ And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷ And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;

²⁸ and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

³⁰ and the second:

³¹ and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶ for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹ And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ For they durst not any more ask him any question.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴² For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸ Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰ And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³¹ And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸ Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰ And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³¹ And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar’s.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.

²⁶ And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷ And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸ saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

³⁰ and the second;

³¹ and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶ for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹ And certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ For they durst not any more ask him any question.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴² For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

²⁴ “Show me a Roman coin. Then tell me whose picture is on it. And tell me whose name is on it.” They showed him a coin and said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, the head of the Roman government.”

²⁵ He said to them, “In that case, give to the government MTY what they require, and give to God what he requires.”

²⁶ While the people were there, the spies were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.

²⁷ Some Sadducees came to Jesus. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.

²⁸ They wanted to ask Jesus a question in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again. One of them said to Jesus, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us Jews about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the dead man's widow so that she can have a child by him. People will consider that the child is the descendant of the man who died, and in that way the dead man will have descendants.

²⁹ Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.

³⁰ The second brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him.

³¹ Then the third brother married her, but the same thing happened again. All seven brothers, one by one, married that woman, but they had no children, and one by one they died.

³² Afterwards, the woman died, too.

³³ Therefore, if it is true that there will be a time when dead people will become alive again, whose wife do you think that woman will be then? ◄ Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because she was married to all seven brothers!► RHQ”

³⁴ Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives by their parents {their parents choose wives for them}.

³⁵ But the men whom God considers worthy of being in heaven after they become alive again will not be married.

³⁶ You need to know also that they cannot die anymore, because they will be immortal SIM like angels. The fact that God has caused them to be alive again will show that they are God's children.

³⁷ But as for people becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where he wrote about the burning bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham worships and the God whom Isaac worships and the God whom Jacob worships.

³⁸ It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive! All people whose spirits are alive again after they die continue to live to honor God!”

³⁹ Some of the men who taught the Jewish laws replied, “Teacher, you (sg) have answered very well!”

⁴⁰ After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions like that to try to trap him.

⁴¹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people are wrong who say that the Messiah is merely a descendant of King David! RHQ

⁴² Because David himself wrote about the Messiah in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit here beside me on my right, where I will highly honor you(sg) MTY.

⁴³ Sit here while I completely defeat your enemies.

⁴⁴ King David calls the Messiah ‘ my Lord’! So ◄ the Messiah cannot be just someone descended from King David!/how can the Messiah be just someone descended from King David?► RHQ What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn't that right?”

⁴⁵ While all the other people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶ They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁸ They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶ They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁸ They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶ They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marvelled at his answer and were silent.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.

²⁵ And he said, Then give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

²⁶ And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

²⁷ And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

²⁸ Master, Moses said that if a man's brother comes to his end, having a wife, but no children, his brother is to take the wife, and get a family for his brother.

²⁹ Now there were seven brothers, and the first had a wife and came to his end, having no children;

³⁰ And the second;

³¹ And the third took her; and in the same way, all the seven, without having any children, came to their end.

³² And last of all, the woman came to her end.

³³ When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives;

³⁵ But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;

³⁶ And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

³⁷ But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him.

³⁹ And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well.

⁴⁰ And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.

⁴¹ And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

⁴² For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand,

⁴³ Till I put under your feet all those who are against you.

⁴⁴ David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

⁴⁵ And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.

²⁵ And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

²⁶ And they were not able to take hold of him in his expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷ And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him,

²⁸ demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁹ There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;

³⁰ and the second took the woman, and he died childless;

³¹ and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;

³² and last of all the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage,

³⁵ but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

³⁶ for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in the section of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

³⁸ but he is not God of the dead but of the living; for all live for him.

³⁹ And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.

⁴⁰ For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.

⁴¹ And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,

⁴² and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand

⁴³ until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet?

⁴⁴ David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.

²⁵ And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.

²⁶ And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.

²⁷ And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,

²⁸ Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰ And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.

³¹ And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.

³⁶ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

³⁸ For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.

³⁹ And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.

⁴⁰ And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

⁴⁴ David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:

²⁴ Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said, “Caesar's.”

²⁵ And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

²⁶ But they could not catch Him in His words in front of the people. And marveling at His answer, they kept silent.

²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, coming to Him and asked Him,

²⁸ saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

²⁹ Now there were seven brothers. And the first, having taken a wife, died childless.

³⁰ And the second took her as wife, and this man died childless.

³¹ Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and they died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”

³⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who have been counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

³⁶ nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now even Moses revealed that the dead are raised, in the burning bush passage, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all are alive to Him.”

³⁹ Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”

⁴⁰ But after that they dared not question Him anymore.

⁴¹ And He said to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David?

⁴² Even David himself said in the Book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,

⁴³ till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’

⁴⁴ Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?”

⁴⁵ And as all the people listened, He said to His disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius—whose image and inscription does it have?” In answer they said, “Caesar's.”

²⁵ So He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

²⁶ They were unable to latch on to His word in front of the people; and marveling at His answer they kept silent.

²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned Him,

²⁸ saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's married brother dies childless, then his brother should take the widow and produce offspring for his brother.

²⁹ Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife and died childless;

³⁰ then the second took the widow and he died childless;

³¹ then the third took her, in fact all seven in sequence—they all died childless.

³² Finally, last of all, the woman died also.

³³ Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since all seven had her?”

³⁴ So in answer Jesus said to them: “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage;

³⁵ but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, to the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ Because they cannot die anymore, being like angels—they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, Moses indeed revealed about the Bush when he recorded: ‘The Lord, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ So He is not the God of the dead, but of the living—to Him all are alive.”

³⁹ Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you spoke well.”

⁴⁰ And they no longer dared to question Him further.

⁴¹ Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's Son?

⁴² Why David himself affirms in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right hand

⁴³ until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’

⁴⁴ Since David calls Him ‘Lord’, how then is He his Son?”

⁴⁵ Then, in the hearing of the people, He said to His disciples:

²⁴ “Show me a coin—a denarius. Whose image and inscription is on it?” “Caesar's,” they answered.

²⁵ “Then give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give back to God what belongs to God,” he told them.

²⁶ They weren't able to trap him by what he told the people. They were stunned at his reply, and fell silent.

²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, came to Jesus with this question:

²⁸ “Teacher,” they began, “Moses gave us a law that if a married man dies leaving a wife without children, then his brother should marry the widow and have children for his dead brother.

²⁹ Once there were seven brothers. The first had a wife, and died without having children.

³⁰ The second

³¹ and then the third brother also married her. In the end all seven brothers married her, and then died without having children.

³² Finally the wife died too.

³³ Now whose wife will she be in the resurrection, since all seven brothers had married her?”

³⁴ “Here in this age people marry and are given in marriage,” Jesus explained.

³⁵ “But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and the resurrection from the dead don't marry or are given in marriage.

³⁶ They can't die any longer; they're like the angels and are children of God since they're children of the resurrection.

³⁷ But on the question of whether the dead are raised, even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush, when he calls the Lord, ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him they all are alive.”

³⁹ Some of the religious teachers responded, “That was a good answer, Teacher.”

⁴⁰ After this no one dared to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ Then Jesus asked them, “Why is it said that Christ is the son of David?

⁴² For David himself says in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand

⁴³ until I make all your enemies a footstool for your feet.’

⁴⁴ David calls him ‘Lord,’ so how can he be David's son?”

⁴⁵ While everyone was paying attention, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.

²⁵ Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.

²⁶ And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.

²⁷ Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

²⁸ Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

²⁹ Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.

³⁰ And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.

³¹ Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.

³² And last of all the woman dyed also.

³³ Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.

³⁴ Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married.

³⁵ But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married.

³⁶ For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.

³⁸ For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.

³⁹ Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.

⁴⁰ And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.

⁴¹ Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?

⁴² And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.

⁴⁴ Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?

⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,

²⁴ Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar’s.

²⁵ And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which be Cesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁷ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁸ saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰ And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³¹ And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁶ neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁹ Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and said, Caesar's.

²⁵ And he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.

²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him,

²⁸ saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, “If a man's brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”

²⁹ Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless.

³⁰ And the second

³¹ and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died.

³² At last the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage;

³⁵ but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

³⁶ for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

³⁹ Then some of the scribes answering, said, Teacher, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ For they dared no longer to ask him any question.

⁴¹ And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is David's son?

⁴² For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

⁴⁴ David then calleth him lord; and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

²⁴ “Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?”

²⁵ “The Emperor's,” they said; and Jesus replied, “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”

²⁶ They could not lay hold of this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.

²⁷ Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —

²⁸ “Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that — ‘Should a man's married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’

²⁹ Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.

³⁰ The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;

³¹ and so, too, did all seven — dying without children.

³² The woman herself was the last to die.

³³ About the woman, then — at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”

³⁴ “The men and women of this world,” said Jesus, “marry and are given in marriage;

³⁵ but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married,

³⁶ nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God's children.

³⁷ As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord — ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”

³⁹ “Well said, teacher!” exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,

⁴⁰ for they did not venture to question him any further.

⁴¹ But Jesus said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David's son?

⁴² For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself — ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.’

⁴⁴ David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David's son?”

⁴⁵ While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,

²⁴ “Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?”

²⁵ “The Emperor's,” they said; and Jesus replied, “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”

²⁶ They could not lay hold of this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.

²⁷ Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —

²⁸ “Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that — ‘Should a man's married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’

²⁹ Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.

³⁰ The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;

³¹ and so, too, did all seven — dying without children.

³² The woman herself was the last to die.

³³ About the woman, then — at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”

³⁴ “The men and women of this world,” said Jesus, “marry and are given in marriage;

³⁵ but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married,

³⁶ nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God's children.

³⁷ As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord — ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

³⁸ Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”

³⁹ “Well said, teacher!” exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,

⁴⁰ for they did not venture to question him any further.

⁴¹ But Jesus said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David's son?

⁴² For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself — ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.’

⁴⁴ David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David's son?”

⁴⁵ While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius one day’s wage. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s Ruler’s.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar Ruler the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶ They were not able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees Morally-upright came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁸ They asked him, “Teacher, Moses Drawn out wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

³⁰ The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³⁴ Yeshua Salvation said to them, “The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses Drawn out showed at the bush, when Yahweh said ‘The God of Abraham Father of a multitude, the God of Isaac Laughter, and the God of Jacob Supplanter.’

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁹ Some of the Torah-Teachers answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

⁴⁰ They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ He said to them, “Why do they say that the Messiah Anointed one is David Beloved’s son?

⁴² For David Beloved himself says in the book of Psalms,

⁴³ ‘Yahweh said to adoni my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

⁴⁴ “David Beloved therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Shewe me a peny. Whose ymage and superscripcion hath it? They answered and sayde: Cesars.

²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Geve then vnto Cesar that which belongeth vnto Cesar: and to God that which pertayneth to God.

²⁶ And they coulde not reprove his sayinge before the people. But they marvayled at his answer and helde their peace.

²⁷ Then came to him certayne of the Saduces which denye that ther is eny resurreccion. And they axed him

²⁸ sayinge: Master Moses wrote vnto vs if eny mannes brother dye havinge a wyfe and the same dye with out yssue: that then his brother shuld take his wyfe and reyse vp seede vnto his brother.

²⁹ Ther were seven brethren and the fyrste toke a wyfe and dyed with out children.

³⁰ And the seconde toke the wyfe and he dyed chyldlesse.

³¹ And the thyrde toke her and in lyke wyse the resydue of the seven and leeft no chyldren be hynde them and dyed.

³² Last of all the woman dyed also.

³³ Now at the resurreccio whose wyfe of them shall she be? For seven had her to wyfe.

³⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. The chyldre of this worlde mary wyves and are maryed

³⁵ but they which shalbe made worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from deeth nether mary wyves nether are maryed

³⁶ nor yet can dye eny moare. For they are equall vnto the angels: and are the sonnes of God in as moche as they are the chyldre of the resurreccion.

³⁷ And that the deed shall ryse agayne even Moses signified besydes the busshe when he sayde: the Lorde God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob.

³⁸ For he is not the God of the deed but of them which live. For all live in him.

³⁹ Then certayne of the Pharises answered and sayde: Master thou hast well sayde.

⁴⁰ And after that durst they not axe him eny question at all.

⁴¹ Then sayde he vnto them: how saye they that Christ is Davids sonne?

⁴² And David him selfe sayth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde syt on my right honde

⁴³ tyll I make thine enemys thy fothe stole.

⁴⁴ Seinge David calleth him Lorde: How is he then his sonne.

⁴⁵ Then in the audience of all the people he sayde vnto his disciples

²⁴ “Show me a denarius. Whose image and name is on it?” They said, “Caesar's.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

²⁶ They were not able to find fault with what he had said in front of the people, but marveling at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷ When some of the Sadducees came to him, the ones who say that there is no resurrection,

²⁸ they asked him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and being childless, the man should take the brother's wife, and have a child for his brother.

²⁹ There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and died childless,

³⁰ and the second as well.

³¹ The third took her, and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

³² Afterward the woman also died.

³³ In the resurrection then, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as their wife.”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage.

³⁵ But those who are regarded as worthy in that age to receive the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

³⁶ Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, because all live to him.”

³⁹ Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have answered well.”

⁴⁰ For they did not dare ask him any more questions.

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, “How do they say that the Christ is David's son?

⁴² For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ until I make your enemies your footstool.'

⁴⁴ David therefore calls the Christ 'Lord', so how is he David's son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵ He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁷ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

²⁸ Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁹ There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

³⁰ And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.

³¹ And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.

³² Last of all the woman died also.

³³ Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁵ But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

³⁶ Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁷ Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵ In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show ye to me a penny; whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said to him, The emperor’s or Caesar’s.

²⁵ And he said to them, Yield ye therefore to the emperor those things that be the emperor’s or to Caesar those things that be Caesar’s, and those things that be of God, to God.

²⁶ And they might not reprove his word before the people; and they wondered in his answer, and held peace.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees, that denied the again-rising from death to life or the resurrection, came, and asked him.

²⁸ and said, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man have a wife, and he be dead or died, and he was without heirs or free children, that his brother take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.

²⁹ And so there were seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead without heirs, or without sons, or free children;

³⁰ and the brother pursuing took her or the second took her, and he is dead without son;

³¹ and the third took her; also and all seven, and they left not seed or no seed, but be dead;

³² and the last of all the woman is dead.

³³ Therefore in the rising again, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, Sons of this world wed, and be given to weddings;

³⁵ but they that shall be had worthy of that world, and of the rising again from death, neither be wedded, nor wed wives,

³⁶ neither they shall be able to die more; for they be even with angels, and be the sons of God, since they be the sons of the rising again from death.

³⁷ And that dead men rise again, also Moses showed beside the bush, as he saith, The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.

³⁸ And God is not of dead men, but of living men; for all men live to him.

³⁹ And some of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.

⁴⁰ And they durst no more ask him anything.

⁴¹ But he said to them, How say men, Christ to be the son of David or that Christ is the son of David,

⁴² and David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half,

⁴³ till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet?

⁴⁴ Therefore David calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And in hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

²⁴ Show ye to me a penny; whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said to him, The emperor’s or Caesar’s.

²⁵ And he said to them, Yield ye therefore to the emperor those things that be the emperor’s, or Yield ye therefore to Caesar those things that be Caesar’s, and those things that be of God, to God.

²⁶ And they might not reprove his word before the people; and they wondered in his answer, and held (their) peace.

²⁷ Some of the Sadducees, that denied the again-rising from death to life or the resurrection, came, and asked him.

²⁸ and said, Master (or Teacher), Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man have a wife, and he be dead or died, and he was without heirs or free children, that his brother take his wife, and raise (up) seed to his brother.

²⁹ And so there were seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead without heirs, or without sons, or free children;

³⁰ and the brother (pur)suing took her, (or and the brother following took her), or and the second took her, and he is dead without (any) son;

³¹ and the third took her; also and all seven, and they left not seed or and left no seed, but be dead;

³² and the last of all the woman is dead.

³³ Therefore in the rising again, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife. (And so in the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for all seven had her as their wife.)

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, Sons of this world wed, and be given to weddings;

³⁵ but they that shall be had worthy of that world, and of the rising again from death (or and of the resurrection from the dead), neither be wedded, nor wed wives,

³⁶ neither they shall be able to die more; for they be even with (the) angels, and be the sons of God, since they be the sons of the rising again from death. (nor shall they be able to die any longer; for they be equal with the angels, and be the children of God, since they be the children of the resurrection.)

³⁷ And that dead men rise again, also Moses showed beside the bush, as he saith, (or And that the dead rise again, Moses showed beside the bush, when he said), The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.

³⁸ And God is not (the God) of dead men, but of living men; for all men live to him. (And God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; because everyone is alive to him.)

³⁹ And some of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said, (or Teacher, thou hast answered well).

⁴⁰ And they durst no more ask him anything. (And they did not dare to ask him anything more.)

⁴¹ But he said to them, How say men, Christ to be the son of David, Forsooth he said to them, How say men, that Christ is the son of David, (And he said to them, How can men say, that the Messiah is the Son of David?)

⁴² and David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half, (For David himself said in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, or on my right side,)

⁴³ till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet? (until I make thine enemies thy footstool.)

⁴⁴ Therefore David calleth him Lord, and how is he his son? (And so if David calleth him Lord, then how is he his son?)

⁴⁵ And in (the) hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

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

²⁵ And 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.

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

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

²⁸ and 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.

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

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

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

³² and the laste of alle the womman is deed.

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

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

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

³⁶ nethir 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.

³⁷ And 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.

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

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

⁴⁰ And thei dursten no more axe hym ony thing.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴ shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'

²⁵ and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

²⁶ and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷ And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,

²⁸ saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.

²⁹ 'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,

³⁰ and the second took the wife, and he died childless,

³¹ and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;

³² and last of all died also the woman:

³³ in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'

³⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,

³⁵ but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;

³⁶ for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.

³⁷ 'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

³⁸ and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'

³⁹ And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'

⁴⁰ and no more durst they question him anything.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,

⁴² and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³ till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;

⁴⁴ David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'

⁴⁵ And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
