01062016 Gospel 12:18-27

The Sadducees also came to Jesus. Since they claim that there is no resurrection, they questioned him in this way, “Master, in the Scriptures Moses gave us this law: If anyone dies and leaves a wife but no children, his brother must take the woman, and, with her, have a baby, who will be considered the child of his deceased brother. Now, there were seven brothers. The first married a wife, but he died without leaving any children. The second took the wife, and he also died, leaving no children. The same thing happened to the third. In fact, all seven brothers died, leaving no children. Last of all, the woman died. Now, in the resurrection, to which of them will she be wife? For all seven brothers had her as wife.”

Jesus replied, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God? When they rise from the dead, men and women do not marry, but are like the angels in heaven.

Now, about the resurrection of the dead, have you never had thoughts about the burning bush in the book of Moses? God said to Moses: I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living. You are totally wrong.”

Kon huna-hunaon matuod kon sa sitwasyon na an babaje na inkamatajan nan siyete na ka mga bana, sin’o na ma’y matuod mahimo na bana nija didto sa kinabuhi na waya’y katapusan?

An tubag ni Jesus sa pangutana nila, waya na kuno’y mag-asawa pag-abot nan panahon na mabuhi na an mga patay, an mga babaje sanan mga layake dili na kinahanglan mag-asawa pa, parehas nan mga anghel sa kalangitan.

Mahitungod naman ‘sab sa pagka-banhaw nan mga patay, si God, laong pa Nija, na God Sija ni Abraham, Sija an God ni Isaac sanan God Sija ni Jacob; na Sija an God dili kon nan mga patay kon dili God Sija nan mga buhi.

Ugsa na kinahanglan ato gajud Sija sangpiton nan deretso sa tanan nato mga pangaliya parehas nan marajaw na kawatan sa kilid ni Jesus na inlansang ‘sab sa krus na nohangjo na kon mahimo ibanon sija ni Jesus sa Paradise pag-abot nan panahon.
