20. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21. They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”
22. And when they heard this, they were astonished, and they left him and went away.
23. On that day Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and asked him,
24. saying, “Teacher, Moses said if someone dies without having children, his brother is to marry his wife and father descendants for his brother.
25. Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first died after getting married, and because he did not have descendants, he left his wife to his brother.
26. So also the second and the third, up to the seventh.
27. And last of all the woman died.
28. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her as wife.”
29. But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God!
30. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
31. Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,
32. “I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!”
33. And when the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
34. Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same place.
35. And one of them, a legal expert, put a question to him to test him:
36. “Teacher, which commandment is greatest in the law?”
37. And he said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38. This is the greatest and first commandment.
