22:18 But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me? 22:19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” So 7 they brought him a denarius. 8 22:20 Jesus 9 said to them, “Whose image 10 is this, and whose inscription?” 22:21 They replied, 11 “Caesar’s.” He said to them, 12 “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 13 22:22 Now when they heard this they were stunned, 14 and they left him and went away.
22:23 The same day Sadducees 15 (who say there is no resurrection) 16 came to him and asked him, 17 22:24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and father children 18 for his brother.’ 19 22:25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children he left his wife to his brother. 22:26 The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh. 22:27 Last 20 of all, the woman died. 22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.” 21 22:29 Jesus 22 answered them, “You are deceived, 23 because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God. 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels 24 in heaven. 22:31 Now as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, 25 22:32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 26 He is not the God of the dead but of the living!” 27 22:33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
22:34 Now when the Pharisees 28 heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, 29 they assembled together. 30 22:35 And one of them, an expert in religious law, 31 asked him a question to test 32 him: 22:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 33 22:37 Jesus 34 said to him, “‘Love 35 the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 36 22:38 This is the first and greatest 37 commandment. 22:39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 38 22:40 All the law and the prophets depend 39 on these two commandments.”
22:41 While 40 the Pharisees 41 were assembled, Jesus asked them a question: 42 22:42 “What do you think about the Christ? 43 Whose son is he?” They said, “The son of David.” 44 22:43 He said to them, “How then does David by the Spirit call him ‘Lord,’ saying,
22:44 ‘The Lord said to my lord, 45
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 46
22:45 If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 47 22:46 No one 48 was able to answer him a word, and from that day on no one dared to question him any longer.
