And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.
13
Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.
14
When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15
Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."
16
So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."
17
And Jesus answered and 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.

Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:
19
"Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20
Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.
21
And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.
22
So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.
