3 [20:20]And they sent spies to watch him, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take advantage of his speech, to deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator. [20:21]And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and respect no person, but teach the way of God in truth. [20:22]Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar, or not? [20:23]And perceiving their craftiness, he said to them, [20:24]Show me a denarius [14 cents]. Whose figure and inscription has it? And they answered and said, Caesar's. [20:25]And he said to them, Render therefore Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. [20:26]And they were not able to take advantage of his word before the people; and they wondered at his answer, and were silent. 4 [20:27]And some of the Sadducees came forward, who deny that there is a resurrection, and asked him, [20:28]saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies, having a wife, and dies childless, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. [20:29]There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died childless; [20:30]and the second and third took her; [20:31]and in like manner also the seven; [and they] left no children, and died. [20:32]And last, the woman died also. [20:33]In the resurrection, therefore, which of them has her for a wife? for the seven had her for a wife. [20:34]And Jesus said to them, The children of this life marry and are married; [20:35]but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married; [20:36]neither can they die any more; for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. [20:37]But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. [20:38]But God is not [a God] of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him. [20:39]And some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, you have spoken well. [20:40]And they dared not question him any more. 5 [20:41]And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is the son of David? [20:42]And David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, [20:43]till I make your enemies your footstool. [20:44]David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? 6 [20:45]And in the hearing of all the people he said to them, [20:46]Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts; [20:47]who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; they shall receive a greater judgment.
