In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

Jesus said to them, “Arenít you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ëI am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacobí?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ëHear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.í

“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, which is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

David himself calls Him ëLord.í So how can He be Davidís son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
