24. “Show me a coin. Whose name is on the coin? And whose picture is on it?”They said, “Caesar’s.”
25. Jesus said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. And give to God the things that are God’s.”
26. The men were amazed at his answer. They could say nothing. They were not able to trap Jesus in anything he said before the people.
27. Some Sadducees came to Jesus. (Sadducees believe that people will not rise from death.) They asked,
28. “Teacher, Moses wrote that a man’s brother might die. He leaves a wife but no children. Then that man must marry the widow and have children for his dead brother.
29. One time there were seven brothers. The first brother married, but died. He had no children.
30. Then the second brother married the widow, and he died.
31. And the third brother married the widow, and he died. The same thing happened with all the other brothers. They all died and had no children.
32. The woman was the last to die.
33. But all seven brothers married her. So when people rise from death, whose wife will the woman be?”
34. Jesus said to the Sadducees, “On earth, people marry each other.
35. But those who will be worthy to be raised from death and live again will not marry.
36. In that life they are like angels and cannot die. They are children of God, because they have been raised from death.
