20 So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.
21 They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.
22 Is it right for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 He saw through their cunning and said to them,
24 "Show me a coin. Whose head and inscription does it have on it?" They said, "Caesar's."
25 He said to them, "Then pay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and pay to God what belongs to God."
26 They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.
27 There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,
28 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'
29 Well, there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died childless.
30 The second
31 and the third and the rest of the seven took her and died leaving no children.
32 Finally the woman also died.
33 Now this woman — whose wife will she be at the resurrection? For she was wife to the seven."
34 Jesus said to them, "The children of this world marry and are married,
35 but those who are judged worthy to reach that world and the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are married,
36 neither can they die, for they are like angels and are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead rise Moses has made known in the passage regarding the Bush where 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 dead men, but of living men. For all are alive to him."
39 Some of the scribes answered him, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
40 And they no longer dared to ask him anything.
