22
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar or no?"
23
But He perceived their craftiness and said unto them, "Why tempt ye Me?
24
Show Me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it?" They answered and said, "Caesar's."
25
And He said unto them, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's."
26
And they could not take hold of His words before the people. And they marveled at His answer and held their peace.
27
Then came to Him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked Him,
28
saying, "Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
29
There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife and died without children.
30
And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31
And the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.
32
Last of all the woman died also.
33
Therefore, in the resurrection whose wife is she, for seven had her as wife?"
34
And Jesus answering said unto them, "The children of this world marry and are given in marriage.
35
But they that shall be accounted worthy to obtain that World and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage,
36
neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush when he called the Lord `the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.'
38
For He is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live unto Him."
39
Then certain of the scribes answering said, "Master, thou hast said well."
40
And after that they dared not ask Him any question at all.
41
And He said unto them, "How say they that Christ is David's son?
42
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms: `The LORD said unto my Lord, "Sit Thou on My right hand,
43
until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool."'
44
If David therefore calleth Him `Lord,' how is He then his son?"
