Matthew 22:19-33

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ Show Me the ^(A)coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a ^[a]denarius. ²⁰ And He *said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” ²¹ They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “^(B)Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” ²² And hearing this, they were amazed; and ^(C)they left Him and went away.

Jesus Answers the Sadducees

^23 (D)On that day some ^(E)Sadducees (who say ^(F)there is no resurrection) came to ^[b]Jesus and questioned Him, ²⁴ saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘^(G)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up ^[c]children for his brother.’ ²⁵ Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no ^[d]children, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. ²⁷ Last of all, the woman died. ²⁸ In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.”

²⁹ But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, ^(H)since you do not ^[e]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither ^(I)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. ³¹ But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: ³² ‘^(J)I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” ³³ When the crowds heard this, ^(K)they were astonished at His teaching.
