New Testament

Mark 12:11-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. This was the Lord’s doing,and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12. Then they tried to seize Him, but feared the people, for they knew that He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went their way.

13. They sent to Him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians to trap Him in His words.

14. When they came to Him, they said, “Teacher, we know that You are true and swayed by no man. For You do not regard the person of men, but truthfully teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

15. Should we pay, or should we not pay?”But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.”

16. They brought it, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

17. Then Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”And they were amazed at Him.

18. Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him, saying,

19. “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves his wife behind, but leaves no children, that man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

20. Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and when he died, he left no children.

21. The second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.

22. The seven had her and left no children. Last of all, the woman died too.

23. In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”

24. Jesus answered them, “Do you not err, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?

25. When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
