And they questioned him, - 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother. - 29 And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons. - 30 And the next one married her, and he also died without a son. - 31 And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died. - 32 Last of all, the woman also died. - 33 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.” - 34 And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. - 35 Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. - 36 For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection. - 37 For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ - 38 And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.” - 39 Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” - 40 And they no longer dared to question him about anything.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
