that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must
take the wife and raise up children for his brother. 29 Now there were
seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And
the second 31 and then the third took her, and in the same way the seven
died, and they left no children. 32 Finally the woman died also. 33 In the
resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be? For all 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 that
age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in
marriage, 36 nor can they die any more, 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 passage about 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, for all live
to him." 39 And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken
well." 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
41 And he said to them, "How can 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,
"Sit at my right hand,
43 till I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."'
44 David therefore calls him 'Lord,' and how is he his son?"
45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love
greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the
places of honor at feasts, 47 who devour widows' houses and for a
pretense make long prayers. They will receive greater condemnation."

1 He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the
treasury, 2 and he also saw a poor widow put in two copper coins. 3 So
he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of the
others; 4 for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of
her poverty put in all that she had to live on."
5 And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with
beautiful stones and offerings, he said, 6 "As for these things which you
see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon
another that will not be thrown down."
7 So they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be? And
what will be the sign when they are about to take place?" 8 And he said:
"Take heed that you not are deceived. For many will come in my name,
saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them. 9 And
when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified; for these
things must first take place, but the end will not come immediately." 10
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various
