12:15. Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny that I may see it. 12:16. And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. 12:17. And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 12:18. And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked him, saying: 12:19. Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man's brother die and leave his wife behind him and leave no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up seed to his brother. 12:20. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died leaving no issue. 12:21. And the second took her and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner. 12:22. And the seven all took her in like manner and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died. 12:23. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife. 12:24. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God? 12:25. For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. 12:26. And as concerning the dead that they rise again have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? 12:27. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err. 12:28. And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. 12:29. And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. 12:30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. 12:31. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 12:32. And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him. 12:33. And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. 12:34. And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. 12:35. And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?
