Luke 20:22-32

22 Is it lawful for us to give ¹tribute to ²Caesar, or not?"

23 But he perceived their ³craftiness, and said to them,

24 "Show me ⁴a denarius.^[a] Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."

25 He said to them, "Then ⁵render 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 ⁶to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

27 There came to him ⁷some Sadducees, ⁸those who deny that there is a resurrection,

28 and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us ⁹that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man^[b] must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

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

30 And the second

31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.

32 Afterward the woman also died.
