Matt 22:15-32 : 15 Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke. 16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, & teachest the way of God truly, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men. 17 Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not? 18 But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shewe me the tribute money; they brought him a peny. 20 And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They sayd vnto him, Cesars.

For all had her. 29 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen. 31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
