13
And they senduntohimcertain of the Phariseesand of the Herodians,tocatchhim in his words.
14
And when they were come, they say unto him,Master, we knowthat thou arttrue,and*carest*for no man:for thou regardestnot the personofmen,butteachest the way of Godintruth: Is it lawful to givetribute to Caesar,ornot?
15
Shall we give, or shall we notgive? But he, knowingtheirhypocrisy,said unto them,Why tempt yeme?bringme a penny,[a]that I may see it.
16
And they brought it. And he saith unto them,Whose is thisimageandsuperscription?And they said unto him,Caesar's.
17
AndJesusansweringsaid unto them,Render to Caesar the things that areCaesar's,and to God the things that areGod's.And they marvelledathim.
18
Thencomeuntohim the Sadducees,whichsay there isnoresurrection;and they askedhim,saying,
19
Master,Moseswrote unto us,Ifaman'sbrotherdie, andleave his wife behind him, andleavenochildren,thathisbrother should takehiswife,and raise upseed unto hisbrother.
20
Now there weresevenbrethren:and the firsttook a wife,anddyingleftnoseed.
21
And the secondtookher,anddied*, neitherlefthe any seed:and the thirdlikewise.
22
And the sevenhadher,andleftnoseed:last of all the womandiedalso.
23
In the resurrectiontherefore,when they shall rise, whosewife shall she be of them?for the sevenhadher to wife.
24
AndJesusansweringsaid unto them, Do yenottherefore*err, because ye knownot the scriptures,neither the power of God?
25
Forwhen they shall risefrom the dead, they neithermarry, nor are given in marriage; butareas the angelswhich are inheaven.
26
And as touching the dead,that they rise: have yenotreadin the book of Moses,howin the bushGodspake unto him,saying, I am the God of Abraham,and the God of Isaac,and the God of Jacob?
27
He isnot the God of the dead,but the God of the living: yethereforedogreatlyerr.
28
Andone of the scribescame, and having heardthem reasoning together, and perceivingthat he had answeredthemwell,askedhim,Whichis the firstcommandment of all?
29
AndJesusansweredhim,Thefirst of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The LordourGodisoneLord:
30
And thou shalt love the LordthyGodwithallthyheart,andwithallthysoul,andwithallthymind,andwithallthystrength:this is the firstcommandment.
31
And the second is like, namely this*, Thou shalt lovethyneighbourasthyself. There isnoneothercommandmentgreater than these.
32
And the scribesaid unto him,Well,Master, thou hast saidthetruth:for there isoneGod;and there isnoneotherbuthe:
33
And to lovehimwithall the heart,andwithall the understanding,andwithall the soul,andwithall the strength,and to love his neighbourashimself,ismore than all whole burnt offeringsandsacrifices.
34
And when Jesussawthatheanswereddiscreetly, he said unto him,Thou artnotfarfrom the kingdom of God.And no man after thatdurstaskhim any question.
35
AndJesusanswered and said, while he taughtin the temple,Howsay the scribesthatChristis the Son of David?
36
ForDavidhimselfsaidby the HolyGhost, The LORDsaid to myLord, Sit thouonmy right hand,tillImakethineenemiesthyfootstool*.
37
DavidthereforehimselfcallethhimLord;andwhence is he then hisson?And the commonpeopleheardhimgladly.
38
And he said unto theminhisdoctrine,Bewareof the scribes,whichlove to goin long clothing,and love salutationsin the marketplaces,
39
And the chief seatsin the synagogues,and the uppermost roomsatfeasts:
40
Which devourwidows'houses,and for a pretencemakelongprayers: these shall receivegreaterdamnation.
