23. Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him. So he told them,
24. “Show me a coin.” Then he asked, “Whose picture and name are on it?”“The Emperor's,” they answered.
25. Then he told them, “Give the Emperor what belongs to him and give God what belongs to God.”
26. Jesus' enemies could not catch him saying anything wrong there in front of the people. They were amazed at his answer and kept quiet.
27. The Sadducees did not believe that people would rise to life after death. So some of them came to Jesus
28. and said:Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother.
