Luke 20:22-47 ▼

22 is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?

23 And He knowing their rascality, said to them, Why tempt ye me?

24 Show me the denarion. Whose image and superscription has it? And they responding said, Caesar's.

25 And He said to them, Therefore render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.

26 And they were not able to criticise His word before the people: and being astonished at His answer, they were silent.

27 And certain ones of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, coming forward asked Him,

28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if the brother of any one may die having a wife, and the same may die childless, that his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.

29 Then there were seven brothers; and the first receiving a wife died childless.

30 And the second

31 and the third received her, and likewise also the seven; they left no children and died.

32 Last of all the woman also died.

33 Therefore in the resurrection of which one of them is she the wife? for the seven had her a wife.

34 And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

35 but those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead,

36 neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they are not able yet to die; for they are like the angels, and sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

37 But that the dead are raised, Moses also mentioned at the Bush, when he says; The Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live unto Him.

39 And certain of the scribes responding said; Teacher, you spoke beautifully.

40 And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.

41 And He said to them; How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

42 And David himself says in the Book of the Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

43 until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

44 Therefore David calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?

45 And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,

46 Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers,

47 Who devour the houses of the widows, and pray long through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
