So tell us what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to the emperor or not?"
18
Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19
Show me a coin used to pay taxes." They brought him a coin.
20
He said to them, "Whose face and name is this?"
21
They replied, "The emperor's." Then he said to them, "Very well, give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God."
22
They were surprised to hear this. Then they left him alone and went away.
23
On that day some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Jesus. They asked him,
24
"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies childless, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.'
25
There were seven brothers among us. The first married and died. Since he had no children, he left his widow to his brother.
26
The second brother also died, as well as the third, and the rest of the seven brothers.
27
At last the woman died.
