17
But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner'?
18
Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one it will crush him."
19
The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them.
20
So they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might take hold of what he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21
They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
22
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
23
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
24
"Show me a coin. Whose likeness and inscription has it?" They said, "Caesar's."
25
He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26
And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said; but marveling at his answer they were silent.
27
There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection,
28
and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29
Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children;
31
and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
32
Afterward the woman also died.
33
In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
34
And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage;
35
but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36
for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
