15. But because he knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”
16. So they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.”

21. And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise.
22. And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
