16. And they sent to Him some of their disciples, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are honest and teach the way of God in truth. And what others think doesn’t concern You, for You do not look at men’s appearance.
17. Tell us therefore, what do You think? Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18. But Yeshua, knowing their wickedness, said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?
19. Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius.
20. And He said to them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21. “Caesar’s,” they said to Him. Then He said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22. And hearing this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
23. On that day, Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Yeshua and questioned Him, saying,
24. “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If someone dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his widow and father children for his brother.’
25. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died; and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26. In the same way also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.
27. Last of all, the woman died.
28. So in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”
29. But answering, Yeshua said to them, “You’ve gone astray, because you don’t understand the Scriptures or the power of God.
30. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
31. But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
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. When the crowds heard this, they were astounded at His teaching.
