inst them: and leaving
him, they departed.
(13)And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
Herodians, that they might entrap him in discourse. (14)And they come
and say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for
any man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way
of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
(15)shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their
hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I
may see it. (16)And they brought it. And he said unto them, Whose
figure and inscription is this? they say unto him, Caesar's. (17)And
Jesus addressing them, said, Render the things which are Caesar's, to
Caesar; and what belongs to God, to God. And they marvelled at him.
(18)And the Sadducees come to him, who say that there is no
resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying, (19)Master, Moses
left it in writing for us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a
wife, and leave no children; that his brother should take his wife, and
raise up seed for his brother. (20)Now there were seven brothers; and
the first took a wife, and dying left no issue: (21)and the second took
her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like
manner. (22)And the seven had her, and left no issue. Last of all died
also the wife. (23)In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise,
whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had the very same wife.
(24)And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from
not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God? (25)For when they
rise from the dead, they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage;
but they are as the angels which are in heaven. (26)But concerning the
dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God
spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (27)He is not the God of the dead, but
the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous.
(28)And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him,
perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the
first commandment of all? (29)Then Jesus replied to him, The first of
all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord:
(30)and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength
