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.
28. But all seven men had married her. So when people rise from death, whose wife will she be?”
29. Jesus answered, “You are so wrong! You don’t know what the Scriptures say. And you don’t know anything about God’s power.
30. At the time when people rise from death, there will be no marriage. People will not be married to each other. Everyone will be like the angels in heaven.
31. Surely you have read what God said to you about people rising from death.
32. God said, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So they were not still dead, because he is the God only of living people.”
33. When the people heard this, they were amazed at Jesus’ teaching.
