Luke 20:22-47 ▼

22 Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?

23 But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?

24 Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.

25 Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.

26 And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.

27 Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.

29 Now there were seuen brethren, & the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.

30 And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.

31 Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.

32 And last of all the woman dyed also.

33 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? For seuen had her to wife.

34 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married.

35 But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married.

36 For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, & are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.

37 And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.

38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.

39 Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.

40 And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.

41 Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?

42 And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lorde, Sit at my right hand,

43 Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.

44 Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?

45 Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,

46 Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the hiest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:

47 Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
