恭讀聖路加福音 20:27-38

那時候,否認復活的撒杜塞人中,有幾個來問耶穌,說:「師父,梅瑟給我們寫下:如果一個人的哥哥死了,撇下妻子而沒有子嗣,他的弟弟就應娶他的妻子,給他哥哥立嗣。有兄弟七人,第一個娶了妻子,沒有子嗣就死了。第二個,及第三個,都娶過她為妻。七個人都是如此:沒有留下子嗣就死了。後來,連那婦人也死了。
「那麼,在復活的時候,這婦人是他們那一個的妻子?因為他們七個人,都娶過她為妻。」
耶穌對他們說:「今世之子也娶也嫁;但那堪得來世,及堪當由死者中復活的人,他們也不娶,也不嫁;甚至他們也不能再死,因為他們相似天使;他們既是復活之子,也就是天主之子。
「至論死者復活,梅瑟已在荊棘篇中指明了:他稱上主,為亞巴郎的天主,依撒格的天主,及雅各伯的天主。天主不是死人的天主,而是活人的天主;所有人為他都是生活的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 20:27-38

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called out ‘Lord,’ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
