In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither will marry, nor be given in marriage, but be immortal like the angels in heaven.

and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"

and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end will not be yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines, and tumults.

These are the beginning of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be scourged in the synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

Whenever they betray you and hand you over for trial, do not be anxious beforehand as to what you shall say, but say whatever is given you at the moment; for it will not be you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Watch then, for you never know when the Lord of the House will come, in the late evening or at midnight or at cock-crow or in the morning.

but they said, Not during the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.

For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always.

And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us.

And while they were reclining at table, and were eating, Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, One of you, he that eats with me, will deliver me up.

And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And immediately the cock crew the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: Before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. And when he thought upon it, he wept.

Pilate spake to him again, and said, will you make no defence for your self? don't you hear what they urge against you?

Afterwards he appeared at table to the eleven themselves and reproached them for their unbelief and dulness of mind, because they had not believed those who saw him risen from the dead. [But they excused themselves, saying, "This age of lawlessness and unbelief lies under the sway of Satan, who will not allow what lies under the unclean spirits to understand the truth and power of God; therefore," they said to Christ, "reveal your righteousness now." Christ answered them, "The term of years for Satan's power has now expired, but other terrors are at hand.

He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.

And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;
