But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you test Me?
24
Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" They answered and said, "Caesar's."
25
And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26
But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.

Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
28
saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
29
Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.
30
And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31
Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.
32
Last of all the woman died also.
