Luke 20
19The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.
20So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
24"Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."
25He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
28and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.
30And the second
31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
32Afterward the woman also died.
33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
34And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37But 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.
38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him."
39Then some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
41But he said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is David's son?
42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43until I make your enemies your footstool.'
44David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"
45And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
47who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
Luke 21
1Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box,
2and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
3And he said, "Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.
4For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
5And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
6"As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
7And they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"
8And he said, "See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.
9And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once."
