Luke:20:20-40
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So they watched him ,
and sent spies ,
who pretended to be sincere ,
that they might take hold of what he said ,
so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor .
*
They asked him , "
Teacher ,
we know that you speak and teach rightly ,
and show no partiality ,
but truly teach the way of God .
*
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar ,
or not ?"
*
But he perceived their craftiness ,
and said to them ,
* "
Show me a coin .
Whose likeness and inscription has it ?"
They said , "
Caesar '
s ."
*
He said to them , "
Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar '
s ,
and to God the things that are God '
s ."
*
And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him by what he said ;
but marveling at his answer they were silent .
*
There came to him some Sadducees ,
those who say that there is no resurrection ,
*
and they asked him a question ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
Moses wrote for us that if a man '
s brother dies ,
having a wife but no children ,
the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother .
*
Now there were seven brothers ;
the first took a wife ,
and died without children ;
*
and the second
*
and the third took her ,
and likewise all seven left no children and died .
*
Afterward the woman also died .
*
In the resurrection ,
therefore ,
whose wife will the woman be ?
For the seven had her as wife ."
*
And Jesus said to them , "
The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage ;
*
but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage ,
*
for they cannot die any more ,
because they are equal to angels and are sons of God ,
being sons of the resurrection .
*
But that the dead are raised ,
even Moses showed ,
in the passage about the bush ,
where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob .
*
Now he is not God of the dead ,
but of the living ;
for all live to him ."
*
And some of the scribes answered , "
Teacher ,
you have spoken well ."
*
For they no longer dared to ask him any question .
