Luke 20:23-33

23 But seeing through their craftiness, he said to them,
24 "Show me a denarius! Whose image and inscription does it have?" And they answered [and] said, "Caesar's."
25 So he said to them, "Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!"
26 And they were not able to catch [him] in a statement in the sight of the people, and astonished at his answer, they became silent.

A Question About Marriage and the Resurrection

27 Now some of the Sadducees--who deny {that there is a resurrection}--came up [and] asked him,
28 saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone's brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and {father} descendants for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife [and] died childless,
30 and the second,
31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
32 Finally the woman also died.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman--whose wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife."
