Whiston(i)
20 And going away they sent forth spies, which should feign themselves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words that so they might deliver him unto the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayst and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of anyone; but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their wickedness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 Shew me a piece of money: Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesars.
25 And he said unto them, Render unto Cesar the things which be Cesars, and unto God the things which be Gods.
26 But they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees who say there is no resurrection, and asked him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any mans brother die without children, having a wife, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were seven brethren with us: and the first took a wife, and died without a child left.
30 And the second;
31 And the third; and in like manner the seven. And they left no child, and died.
32 At last the woman also died.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
34 And He said unto them, The children of this world are begotten and beget, marry and are given in marriage:
35 But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.
36 Neither shall they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels with God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth 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 unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
