18. But Jesus knew that these men were trying to trick him. So he said, “You hypocrites! Why are you trying to catch me saying something wrong?
19. Show me a coin used for paying the tax.” They showed Jesus a silver coin.
20. Then he asked, “Whose picture is on the coin? And whose name is written on the coin?”
21. They answered, “It is Caesar’s picture and Caesar’s name.” Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
22. When they heard what Jesus said, they were amazed. They left him and went away.
23. That same day some Sadducees came to Jesus. (Sadducees believe that no one will rise from death.) The Sadducees asked Jesus a question.
24. They said, “Teacher, Moses told us that if a married man dies and had no children, his brother must marry the woman. Then they will have children for the dead brother.
25. There were seven brothers among us. The first brother married but died. He had no children. So his brother married the woman.
26. Then the second brother also died. The same thing happened to the third brother and all the other brothers.
27. The woman was the last to die.
