And they asked him a question, saying,&nbsp;<sup>19&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cTeacher, Moses wrote for us that&nbsp;if a man&#8217;s brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man&nbsp;must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.&nbsp;<sup>20&nbsp;<\/sup>There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring.&nbsp;<sup>21&nbsp;<\/sup>And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise.&nbsp;<sup>22&nbsp;<\/sup>And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.&nbsp;<sup>23&nbsp;<\/sup>In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>24&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus said to them,&nbsp;\u201cIs this not the reason you are wrong, because&nbsp;you know neither the Scriptures nor&nbsp;the power of God?&nbsp;<sup>25&nbsp;<\/sup>For when they rise from the dead, they neither&nbsp;marry nor&nbsp;are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.&nbsp;<sup>26&nbsp;<\/sup>And as for the dead being raised,&nbsp;have you not read in&nbsp;the book of Moses, in&nbsp;the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying,&nbsp;\u2018I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob\u2019?&nbsp;<sup>27&nbsp;<\/sup>He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Great Commandment<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>28&nbsp;<\/sup>And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, \u201cWhich commandment is the most important of all?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>29&nbsp;<\/sup>Jesus answered,&nbsp;\u201cThe most important is,&nbsp;\u2018Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God,&nbsp;the Lord is one.&nbsp;<sup>30&nbsp;<\/sup>And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.\u2019&nbsp;<sup>31&nbsp;<\/sup>The second is this:&nbsp;\u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 There is no other commandment&nbsp;greater than these.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>32&nbsp;<\/sup>And the scribe said to him, \u201cYou are right, Teacher. You have truly said that&nbsp;he is one, and&nbsp;there is no other besides him.&nbsp;<sup>33&nbsp;<\/sup>And to love him with all the heart and with all&nbsp;the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one&#8217;s neighbor as oneself,&nbsp;is much more than all&nbsp;whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>34&nbsp;<\/sup>And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him,&nbsp;\u201cYou are not far from the kingdom of God.\u201d&nbsp;And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whose Son Is the Christ?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>35&nbsp;<\/sup>And as&nbsp;Jesus taught in the temple, he said,&nbsp;\u201cHow can the scribes say that&nbsp;the Christ is the son of David?&nbsp;<sup>36&nbsp;<\/sup>David himself,&nbsp;in the Holy Spirit, declared,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018The Lord said to my Lord,<br>\u201cSit at my right hand,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;until I put your enemies&nbsp;under your feet.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>37&nbsp;<\/sup>David himself calls him Lord. So&nbsp;how is he his son?\u201d&nbsp;And the great throng&nbsp;heard him gladly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beware of the Scribes<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>38&nbsp;<\/sup>And in his teaching he said,&nbsp;\u201cBeware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces&nbsp;<sup>39&nbsp;<\/sup>and have the best seats in the synagogues and&nbsp;the places of honor at feasts,&nbsp;<sup>40&nbsp;<\/sup>who devour widows&#8217; houses and&nbsp;for a pretense make long prayers.

Many rich people put in large sums.&nbsp;<sup>42&nbsp;<\/sup>And a poor widow came and put in two&nbsp;small copper coins, which make a penny.&nbsp;<sup>43&nbsp;<\/sup>And he called his disciples to him and said to them,&nbsp;\u201cTruly, I say to you,&nbsp;this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box.&nbsp;<sup>44&nbsp;<\/sup>For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her&nbsp;poverty has put in everything she had, all&nbsp;she had to live on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#ededed\" class=\"has-background\">The Holy Bible, English Standard Version\u00ae (ESV\u00ae), copyright \u00a9 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-974facd ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><style>.ugb-974facd hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#dddddd !important;height:1px !important;width:50% !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-974facd .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The tenants were unwilling to give the Lord what was his.
