Matthew 22:15–33

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking. ¹⁶And they send out 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 men’s person; ¹⁷tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites? ¹⁹Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius. ²⁰And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? ²¹They say to him, Caesar’s. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar’s to Caesar, and what is God’s to God. ²²And when they heard him, they wondered, and left him, and went away.

²³On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him, ²⁴saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother. ²⁶In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven. ²⁷And last of all the woman also died. ²⁸In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her? ²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, Ye 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 of God in heaven. ³¹But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, ³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living. ³³And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.
