14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them,Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.”
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them,Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them,Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
