Luke 20:22-32

22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

23 But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,^[a]

24 "Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" "Caesar's," they said.

25 "Well then," He told them, "give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's."

26 They were not able to catch Him in what He said^[b] in public,^[c] and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

The Sadducees and the Resurrection

27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned Him:

28 "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. ^[d]

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.

30 Also the second^[e]

31 and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children.

32 Finally, the woman died too.
