New Testament

Matthew 22:15-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

15. Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to entangle Him in His words.

16. They sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God truthfully, and are swayed by no one. For You do not regard the person of men.

17. Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18. But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, “Why test Me, you hypocrites?

19. Show Me the tax money.” They brought Him a denarius.

20. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

21. They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”Then He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

22. When they heard these words, they were amazed, and left Him and went on their way.

23. The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

24. “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry his wife and raise up children for his brother.’

25. Now there were seven brothers with us. The first died after he married and, having no children, left his wife to his brother.

26. Likewise the second and third, on to the seventh.

27. Last of all, the woman died also.

28. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

29. Jesus answered, “You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

30. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven.
