16. He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be!"
17. But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The stone which the builders rejected, This became the chief corner stone'?
18. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."
19. The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and they feared the people; for they understood that He spoke this parable against them.
20. So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.
21. They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth.
22. Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
23. But He detected their trickery and said to them,
24. "Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."
25. And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26. And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.
27. Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),
28. and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.
29. Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;
30. and the second
31. and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32. Finally the woman died also.
33. In the resurrection therefore, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."
