Luke 20:20-40

Murdock(i) 20 And they sent to him spies, who feigned themselves righteous men, that they might insnare him in discourse, and deliver him up to a court, and to the authority of the president. 21 And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay head-money to Caesar, or not? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me? 24 Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's. 25 Jesus said to them: Then, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. 26 And they could not catch from him a word of accusation before the people: and they were surprised at his answers, and were silent. 27 And some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came and questioned him, 28 and said to him: Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, who had a wife without children, his surviving brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his deceased brother. 29 Now, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her to wife; and he died without children. 31 And again, the third took her, and in like manner also all the seven; and they died, and left no children. 32 At last, the woman likewise died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife, for the seven took her? 34 Jesus said to them: The children of this world take wives, and wives are given to husbands. 35 But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands. 36 Neither can they die any more; for they are as the angels, and are the children of God, because they are children of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead will arise, even Moses showed; for, at the bush, he maketh mention, while he saith: The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for they all live to him. 39 And some of the Scribes answered, and said to him: Teacher, thou hast spoken well. 40 And they did not again venture to question him, on any matter.
