MLV(i)
20 And having observed him, they sent forth agents, who themselves pretended to be righteous, in order that they might grab him from his speech, that they might give him to the rule and the authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that you say and teach correctly, and do not accept the countenance of men, but in truth, are teaching the way of God.
22 Is it legal for us to give tax to Caesar or not?
23 But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, Why are you testing me? 24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it?
But they answered and said, Caesar’s.
25 But he said to them, Now-then, give to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s. 26 And they were not strong-enough to grasp his declaration in front of the people, and they marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Now some of the Sadducees came to him, those who contradict the resurrection–there is no resurrection; and they asked him, 28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, in order that if anyone’s brother dies, having a wife, and this one should die childless, his brother should take the wife and should raise up seed to his brother. 29 Therefore, there were seven brethren, and the first took a wife and died childless; 30 and the second took the woman and this one died childless; 31 and the third took her, and likewise, the seven also left no children and they all died. 32 The woman also died later. 33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
34 And Jesus answered and said to them, The sons of this world marry and are betrothed. 35 But those who are deemed worthy into that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are they betrothed, 36 for neither are they able to die anymore; for they are equal to the messengers, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses divulged at the bush, as he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 But some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, you have said well.
40 But they were not daring anymore to ask him anything.
