Luke 20:20-40
They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.They questioned Him,“ Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,“ Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?”“ Caesar’s,” they said.“ Well then,” He told them,“ give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”They were not able to catch Him in what He said in public, and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned Him:“ Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.Also the secondand the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.Finally, the woman died too.In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.”Jesus told them,“ The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.For they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to Him.”Some of the scribes answered,“ Teacher, You have spoken well.”And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.

Psalms 71:15-18
My mouth will tell about Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up.I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.Even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your power to another generation, Your strength to all who are to come.
-
Malachi 3:16-18
At that time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Yahweh and had high regard for His name.“ They will be Mine,” says the Lord of Hosts,“ a special possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
