Luke 20:20-40

Anderson(i) 20 And they watched him, and sent spies, who feigned them selves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. 21 And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not regard the person of any, but teach the way of God in truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 23 But he perceived their cunning, and said to them: Why do you tempt me? 24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said: Caesar's. 25 He said to them: Give, therefore, to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s. 26 And they were not able to take hold of his words before the people. And they were astonished at his answer, and were silent. 27 Then there came to him some of the Sadducees, (these deny that there is any resurrection,) and asked him, 28 saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother. 29 There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children; 30 and the second took his wife, and he died without children; 31 and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven; and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all, the woman also died. 33 Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife. 34 And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. 35 But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. 36 For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection. 37 But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him. 39 And certain of the scribes answered and said: Teacher, thou hast answered well. 40 And after this they durst not ask him any question at all.
