Matthew 22:18-29 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?

19. Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.

20. And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

21. They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

22. When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

23. The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,

24. saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring 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. So too the second and third, down to the seventh.

27. After them all, the woman died.

28. In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29. But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
