Then the Pharisees went and made a plot to trap Him in argument. So they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, to say to Him, "Teacher, we know that you are in the habit of telling the truth and of teaching the way of God in honesty, and you do not care what anyone says, for you are not partial. So give us your opinion on the question: Is it right to pay Caesar the poll-tax, or not?"

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.' Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died without children, and left his widow to his brother. The second also died, and the third, and all down to the seventh. read more.
Last of all, the woman died, too. Now at the resurrection which one's wife, of the seven, will she be? For they all married her."

And while they were sitting at table and eating, Jesus said, "I solemnly say to you, one of you, one who is now eating with me, is going to betray me." And they began to show that they were hurt and to ask Him one by one, "It cannot be I, can it?" He answered them, "It is one of the Twelve, the one who is dipping his bread in the dish with me. read more.
For the Son of Man is going away, as the Scriptures say of Him, but a curse will be on that man by whom He is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had never been born." While they were eating, He took a loaf and blessed it and broke it in pieces and gave it to them, saying, "Take this; it is my body." He also took the cup of wine and gave thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank some of it.

Then the scribes and the high priests tried to arrest Him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the people, for they knew that He meant this story for them. So they closely watched and sent spies who pretended to be upright men, to catch Him in His conversation, so as to turn Him over to the power and authority of the governor. They asked Him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and show no favors to anyone, but teach the way of God honestly. read more.
Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" But He detected their cunning, and said to them, "Show me a twenty-cent coin. Whose picture and title does it bear?" They answered, "Caesar's." He said to them, "Then pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and pay God what belongs to God!" So they could not use what he said before the people, and in astonishment at His answer they said no more.

On the same day some Sadducees, who claim that there is no resurrection, came up to Him, and asked this question: "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.' Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died without children, and left his widow to his brother. read more.
The second also died, and the third, and all down to the seventh. Last of all, the woman died, too. Now at the resurrection which one's wife, of the seven, will she be? For they all married her." Jesus answered them, "You are wrong in your views, because you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God, for after the resurrection men do not marry and women are not married, but continue to live together as the angels do in heaven. But did you never read, on the resurrection of the dead, what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob!' Now God is not the God of dead but of living men." And when the crowds heard this, they were dumbfounded at His teaching.

Then some Sadducees, who claim that there is no resurrection, came up to Him and asked Him this question, "Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man's brother died leaving a wife but no child, the man must marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother. There were once seven brothers. The eldest married a wife and on dying left no child, read more.
and the second married her and died leaving no child; and so did the third. And not one of the seven left a child. At last the woman died too. Now at the resurrection, which one's wife will she be? For all seven of them married her." Jesus said to them, "Does not this prove that you are wrong in your views, because you do not understand either the Scriptures or the power of God? For when people rise from the dead, men do not marry and women are not married, but continue to live together as the angels in heaven do. But as to the rising of the dead, did you never read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead but of living people! You are entirely wrong in your views."

Then some of the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came up and asked Him, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us a law that, if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no child, the man should take the widow and raise up a family for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. And the first brother married a wife and died childless. read more.
Then the second, and the third, married her; as also the seven did who died but left no child. Last of all, the woman died. Now at the resurrection which one's wife will the woman be? For the seven married her." Jesus said to them, "The people of this world marry and are married, but those who are considered worthy to attain that other world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are married. For they cannot die again. They are like the angels, and since they are reborn in the resurrection, are children of God. But that the dead are raised, even Moses at the bush has demonstrated, when he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' He is not the God of dead but of living people, for all live to Him." Then some of the scribes answered Him, "Teacher, you have given a fine answer." For they did not dare to ask Him any more questions.

So if you have been raised to life in fellowship with Christ, keep on seeking the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Practice occupying your minds with the things above, not with the things on earth; for you have died, and your life is now hidden in God through your fellowship with Christ.

And when the crowds heard this, they were dumbfounded at His teaching. Now the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, and so they had a meeting.

When he said that, an angry dispute arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the crowded court was divided. For the Sadducees hold that there is no resurrection, and no such thing as an angel or spirit, but the Pharisees believe in all of them.

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother must marry his widow and raise up a family for him.' Now there were seven brothers among us.
