Luke 20:20-40
So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.Then they asked Him, saying,“ Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them,“ Why do you test Me?Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said,“ Caesar’s.”And He said to them,“ Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,saying:“ Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.Last of all the woman died also.Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.”Jesus answered and said to them,“ The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord‘ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”Then some of the scribes answered and said,“ Teacher, You have spoken well.”But after that they dared not question Him anymore.

Malachi 3:16-18
Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name.“ They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,“ On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.
