Mark 12:13–27

¹³And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking. ¹⁴And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men’s person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? ¹⁵Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see it. ¹⁶And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar’s. ¹⁷And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar’s to Caesar, and what is God’s to God. And they wondered at him.

¹⁸And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying, ¹⁹Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one’s brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed; ²¹and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise. ²²And the seven took her and did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died. ²³In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife? ²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵For when they rise from among the dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels who are in the heavens. ²⁶But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the section of the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye therefore greatly err.
