Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead.

But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time.

For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then books were opened, and another book was opened -- the book of life. So the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

Also, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ from the dead, when in reality he did not raise him, if indeed the dead are not raised.

Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
