(12)And they sought to lay hold of him, but feared the people; for
they knew that he spoke the parable against them; and they left him,
and went away.
(13)And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians,
to entrap him with a word. (14)And they come and say to him: Teacher,
we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest
not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it
lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? (15)Shall we give, or shall
we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them: Why tempt
ye me? Bring me a denary[12:15], that I may see it. (16)And they
brought it. And he says to them: Whose is this image, and the
inscription? And they said to him: Caesar's. (17)And Jesus answering
said to them: Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to
God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him.

them: Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, nor
the power of God? (25)For when they shall rise from the dead, they
neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels who are in
heaven. (26)And concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read
in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying: I am
the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (27)He
is not God of the dead, but of the living. Ye greatly err.
(28)And one of the scribes came to him, and having heard them
reasoning together, and perceiving that he answered them well, asked
him: Which commandment is first of all? (29)And Jesus answered him:
