11. This came from Adonai, and it is marvelous in our eyes.’”
12. They were trying to seize Yeshua, because they realized that He spoke the parable against them. But they feared the crowd, so they left Him and went away.
13. Then they send some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Yeshua in order to trap Him with a word.
14. They come and say to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are honest, and what others think doesn’t concern You. You don’t look at men’s appearance, but teach the way of God according to the truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15. Should we pay, or shouldn’t we?” But Yeshua saw through their hypocrisy and said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius so I may see it.”
16. They brought one. And He said to them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they said to Him.
17. Then Yeshua said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were completely amazed at Him.
18. Then Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came and began questioning Yeshua, saying,
19. “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that ‘if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother should take the widow and father children for his brother.’
20. There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and, when he died, left no offspring.
21. And the second took her and died, leaving no offspring, and the third likewise.
22. Now the seven left no offspring. Last of all, the woman died, too.
23. In the resurrection, when they rise up, whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”
24. Yeshua said to them, “Isn’t this the reason you’ve gone astray, because you don’t understand the Scriptures or the power of God?
25. For when they rise up from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
26. But concerning the dead being raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the burning bush? How God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
