22:15. Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. 22:16. And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. The Herodians. . .That is, some that belonged to Herod, and that joined with him in standing up for the necessity of paying tribute to Caesar, that is, to the Roman emperor. Some are of opinion that there was a sect among the Jews called Herodians, from their maintaining that Herod was the Messias. 22:17. Tell us therefore what dost thou think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 22:18. But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? 22:19. Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. 22:20. And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? 22:21. They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's. 22:22. And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their ways. 22:23. That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him, 22:24. Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother. 22:25.

For they all had her. 22:29. And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 22:30. For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven. 22:31. And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you: 22:32. I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living. 22:33. And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine. 22:34. But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together. 22:35. And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: 22:36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 22:37. Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind. 22:38. This is the greatest and the first commandment. 22:39. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 22:40. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets. 22:41. And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
