Matthew 22:15–32

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk. ¹⁶And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men. ¹⁷Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? ¹⁸But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? ¹⁹Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius. ²⁰And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? ²¹They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. ²²And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.

²³On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, ²⁴saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. ²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; ²⁶in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. ²⁷And after them all, the woman died. ²⁸In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. ²⁹But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ³⁰For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. ³¹But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, ³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
