Matthew 22:17-33

Riverside(i) 17 Tell us therefore what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" 18 But Jesus knew their wickedness and said, "Why are you trying to test me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me a piece of tax money." They brought him a shilling. 20 He asked them, "Whose head is this, and whose inscription?" 21 They said, "Caesar's." He said to them, "Then pay to Caesar what is Caesar's, and pay to God what is God's." 22 When they heard this, they wondered and left him and went away. 23 On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him, 24 "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any man dies childless, his brother shall marry his widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died childless and left his wife to his brother. 26 So did the second and the third down to the seventh. 27 The woman died last of all. 28 In the resurrection, then, which of the seven will have the wife? For they all had her." 29 Jesus replied to them, "You are all astray because you do not understand either the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither many nor are married, but are like the angels in heaven. 31 But in reference to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God when he said, 32 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living men." 33 The crowd on hearing this were amazed at his teaching.
