Matthew 22:21-37
-
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
-
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
-
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
-
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
-
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
-
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
-
27 And last of all the woman died also.
-
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
-
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
-
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
-
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
-
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
-
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
-
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
-
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
-
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
-
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
