020:032 Afterward the woman also died.
020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be?
For the seven had her as a wife."
020:034 Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry, and are
given in marriage.
020:035 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are
given in marriage.
020:036 For they can't die any more, for they are like the angels,
and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
020:037 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.'{Exodus 3:6}
020:038 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living,
for all are alive to him."
020:039 Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
020:040 They didn't dare to ask him any more questions.
020:041 He said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?
020:042 David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said
to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
020:043 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'{Psalm 110:1}
020:044 "David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"
020:045 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
020:046 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love
greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues,
and the best places at feasts;
020:047 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers:
these will receive greater condemnation."
021:001 He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their
gifts into the treasury.
021:002 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass
coins.{literally, "two lepta." 2 lepta was about 1% of a day's
wages for an agricultural laborer.}
021:003 He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than
all of them,
021:004 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she,
out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."
021:005 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated
with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
021:006 "As for these things which you see, the days will come,
in which there will not be left here one stone on another
that will not be thrown down."
021:007 They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be?
What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"
021:008 He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come
in my name, saying, 'I am he{or, I AM},' and, 'The time is at hand.'
