New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
18 But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me?
18
But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
19 Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin,
19
Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius,
20 he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”
20
and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
21
“Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 His reply amazed them, and they went away.
22
When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
23 That same day Jesus was approached by some Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:
23
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.’
24
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children, so his brother married the widow.
25
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 But the second brother also died, and the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them.
26
The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 Last of all, the woman also died.
27
Finally, the woman died.
28 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.”
28
Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
