(13)And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to entrap him with a word. (14)And they come and say to him: Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? (15)Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denary[12:15], that I may see it. (16)And they brought it. And he says to them: Whose is this image, and the inscription? And they said to him: Caesar's. (17)And Jesus answering said to them: Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him. (18)And there come to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked him, saying: (19)Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed to his brother. (20)There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. (21)And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed; and the third likewise. (22)And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all the woman died also. (23)In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife? For the seven had her for a wife. (24)Jesus answering said to them: Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God? (25)For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels who are in heaven. (26)And concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? (27)He is not God of the dead, but of the living. Ye greatly err. (28)And one of the scribes came to him, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he answered them well, asked him: Which commandment is first of all? (29)And Jesus answered him: First is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord is our God, the Lord is one; (30)and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. (31)Second is this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. (32)And the scribe said to him: Well, Teacher; thou saidst truly that he is one, and there is no other beside him; (33)and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices. (34)And Jesus, seeing that he answered intelligently, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any longer to question him.
