he tribute. And they offered him a penny.
22:20. And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
22:21. They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render
therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things
that are God's.
22:22. And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their
ways.
22:23. That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no
resurrection; and asked him,
22:24. Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his
brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother.
22:25. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having
married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his
brother.
22:26. In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the
seventh.
22:27. And last of all the woman died also.
22:28. At the resurrection therefore, whose wife of the seven shall she
