Luke 20:38-40

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^34-38 “People in this world,” Jesus replied, “marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of reaching that world, which means rising from the dead, neither marry nor are they given in marriage. They cannot die any more but live like the angels; for being children of the resurrection, they are the sons of God. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed to be true in the story of the bush, when he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’. For God is not God of the dead, but of the living. For all men are alive to him.”

³⁹ To this some of the scribes replied, “Master, that was a good answer.”

⁴⁰ And indeed nobody had the courage to ask him any more questions.
