Mark 12:15-23 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

15. But Jesus knew that these men were really trying to trick him. He said, “Why are you trying to catch me saying something wrong? Bring me a silver coin. Let me see it.”

16. They gave Jesus a coin and he asked, “Whose picture is on the coin? And whose name is written on it?” They answered, “It is Caesar’s picture and Caesar’s name.”

17. Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” The men were amazed at what Jesus said.

18. Then some Sadducees came to Jesus. (Sadducees believe that no one will rise from death.) They asked him a question:

19. “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and had no children, his brother must marry the woman. Then they will have children for the dead brother.

20. There were seven brothers. The first brother married but died. He had no children.

21. So the second brother married the woman. But he also died and had no children. The same thing happened with the third brother.

22. All seven brothers married the woman and died. None of the brothers had any children with her. And she was the last to die.

23. But all seven brothers had married her. So at the time when people rise from death, whose wife will she be?”
