9. . Points beyond this life

20:27-40

the teacher

Widow had 7 husbands

20:27-10 And some of the Sadducees approached (Jesus). These are the people who claim that there is no resurrection. They questioned him saying "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a brother dies childless and he has a wife then his brother should take the wife and raise up seed for his brother. Therefore there were seven brothers. The first, having taken a wife, died childless. The second and the third took her. And similarly also the seven died and did not leave any children. Lastly the woman also died. What of the woman therefore in the resurrection. Whose wife does she become for all seven have had

her as wife." Jesus said to them "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But of the ones who are counted worthy of that age .of resurrection out of the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage. They cannot die because they are like angels. They are sons of God and of resurrection. But of those that are raised from the dead, even Moses pointed out (something about them) at the bush. He calls the Lord, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. He is not God of dead persons but rather of the living." And so answering this some of the scribes said "Teacher you speak well." And they did not dare to question him further.

20:41-44

the ancestor

David calls 'him' Lord

20: 41-44 He said to them. "How is it they say that the Christ is the son of David. For David says in the scroll of psalms "The Lord said to

my Lord "Sit at the right of me until I put your enemies as a footstool at your feet." David therefore calls him Lord. So how is he his son?"

11. . Donates a mite

20:45-21:4

the very poor

Widow giving mite

20: 45-21:4 Within the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples "Beware of the scribes wanting to walk about in long robes and liking to be greeted in the marketplaces and to be given the chief seats in the synagogues and the chief couches at the suppers. They are those who devour the houses of the widows and make long prayers under pretence. They will

receive the severer judgment." And looking up he saw the rich people putting their gifts into the treasury. And he (also) saw a certain poor widow putting two lepta there. He said "Truly I tell you that this poor widow has put in more that all the others. For these give out of their abundance into the gifts. But this woman has given all that she needs for her living."
