Luke 20:23-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

23. But seeing through their craftiness, he said to them,

24. “Show me a denarius! Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they answered and said, “Caesar’s.”

25. So he said to them, “Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”

26. And they were not able to catch him in a statement in the sight of the people, and astonished at his answer, they became silent.

27. Now some of the Sadducees—who deny that there is a resurrection—came up and asked him,

28. saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone’s brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for 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 likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.

32. Finally the woman also died.

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

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

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

36. for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.
