Luke 20:20–38

²⁰And having watched him, they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in his language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. ²¹And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no man’s person, but teachest with truth the way of God: ²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ²³But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me? ²⁴Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar’s. ²⁵And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar’s to Caesar, and what is God’s to God. ²⁶And they were not able to take hold of him in his expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up to him, ²⁸demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one’s brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁹There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless; ³⁰and the second took the woman, and he died childless; ³¹and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died; ³²and last of all the woman also died. ³³In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife? ³⁴And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage, ³⁵but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; ³⁶for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. ³⁷But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in the section of the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; ³⁸but he is not God of the dead but of the living; for all live for him.
