Haggai 2:1-2:9

2:1 In the second year of King Darius, in the seventh month, on the  twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the prophet  Haggai, saying:

2:2 "Speak now  to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of  Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, and say:

2:3 Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Is it not in your sight as nothing?

2:4 Yet now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; take courage, O  Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people  of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of  hosts,

2:5 according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit abides among you; do not fear.

2:6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will  shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land,

2:7 and I will shake all the nations, so that the treasure of all nations  will come, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of  hosts.

2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.

2:9 The latter splendor of this house shall be greater than the former,  says the LORD of hosts, and in this place I will give prosperity, says  the LORD of hosts."

Psalm 98

98:1 O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.

98:2 The LORD has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.

98:3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of  Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

98:4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises.

98:5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody.

98:6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.

98:7 Let the sea roar and all that fills it, the world and those who live in it.

98:8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy

98:9 at the presence of the LORD, for he is coming to judge the earth. He  will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Luke 20:27-38

27 Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him 28 and asked him a question: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s  brother dies leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the  widow and raise up children for his brother. 29

Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman and died childless; 30 then the second 31 and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless. 32 Finally the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her.”
34 Jesus said to them, “Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the  resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed, they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. 37 And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the  story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham,  the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is God not of the dead but of the living, for to him all of them are alive.”
