Tree Of Life Version

Luke 20:23-39 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

23. But carefully considering their treachery, Yeshua said to them,

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

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

26. And they could not trap Him in His words in the presence of the people. Astonished by His answer, they kept silent.

27. Then some of the Sadducees (who deny there is a resurrection) came and questioned Yeshua.

28. “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that ‘if a man’s brother dies’ having a wife ‘but no children, then his brother should take the widow and father children 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, but in this same way, each of the seven brothers died and left no children.

32. Finally the woman died too.

33. So in the resurrection, whose wife is she? For all seven had married her.”

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

35. But those considered worthy to reach the olam ha-ba and the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

36. For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37. But at the burning bush even Moses revealed that the dead are raised, when he calls Adonai ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

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

39. Some of the Torah scholars replied, “Teacher, You have said it well.”
