  • Luke 20:20-40 : 20 And{G2532} they watched{G3906}{(G5660)} him, and sent forth{G649}{(G5656)} spies{G1455}, which should feign{G5271}{(G5740)}{G1511}{(G5750)} themselves{G1438} just men{G1342}, that{G2443} they might take hold{G1949}{(G5638)} of his{G846} words{G3056}, that so{G1519} they might deliver{G3860}{(G5629)} him{G846} unto the power{G746} and{G2532} authority{G1849} of the governor{G2232}. 21 And{G2532} they asked{G1905}{(G5656)} him{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Master{G1320}, we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} thou sayest{G3004}{(G5719)} and{G2532} teachest{G1321}{(G5719)} rightly{G3723},{G2532} neither{G3756} acceptest thou{G2983}{(G5719)} the person{G4383} of any, but{G235} teachest{G1321}{(G5719)} the way{G3598} of God{G2316} truly{G225}{G1909}: 22 Is it lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} for us{G2254} to give{G1325}{(G5629)} tribute{G5411} unto Caesar{G2541}, or{G2228} no{G3756}? 23 But{G1161} he perceived{G2657}{(G5660)} their{G846} craftiness{G3834}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} them{G846}, Why{G5101} tempt ye{G3985}{(G5719)} me{G3165}? 24 Shew{G1925}{(G5657)} me{G3427} a penny{G1220}. Whose{G5101} image{G1504} and{G2532} superscription{G1923} hath it{G2192}{(G5719)}? They answered{G611}{(G5679)} and{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Caesar's{G2541}. 25 And{G1161} he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Render{G591}{(G5628)} therefore{G5106} unto Caesar{G2541} the things which be{G3588} Caesar's{G2541}, and{G2532} unto God{G2316} the things which be{G3588} God's{G2316}. 26 And{G2532} they could{G2480}{(G5656)} not{G3756} take hold{G1949}{(G5635)} of his{G846} words{G4487} before{G1726} the people{G2992}: and{G2532} they marvelled{G2296}{(G5660)} at{G1909} his{G846} answer{G612}, and held their peace{G4601}{(G5656)}. 27 Then{G1161} came{G4334}{(G5631)} to him certain{G5100} of the Sadducees{G4523}, which{G3588} deny{G483}{(G5723)} that there is{G1511}{(G5750)} any{G3361} resurrection{G386}; and they asked{G1905}{(G5656)} him{G846}, 28 Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Master{G1320}, Moses{G3475} wrote{G1125}{(G5656)} unto us{G2254}, If{G1437} any man's{G5100} brother{G80} die{G599}{(G5632)}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} a wife{G1135}, and{G2532} he{G3778} die{G599}{(G5632)} without children{G815}, that{G2443} his{G846} brother{G80} should take{G2983}{(G5632)} his wife{G1135}, and{G2532} raise up{G1817}{(G5661)} seed{G4690} unto his{G846} brother{G80}. 29 There were{G2258}{(G5713)} therefore{G3767} seven{G2033} brethren{G80}: and{G2532} the first{G4413} took{G2983}{(G5631)} a wife{G1135}, and died{G599}{(G5627)} without children{G815}. 30 And{G2532} the second{G1208} took{G2983}{(G5627)} her to wife{G1135}, and{G2532} he{G3778} died{G599}{(G5627)} childless{G815}. 31 And{G2532} the third{G5154} took{G2983}{(G5627)} her{G846}; and{G1161} in like manner{G5615} the seven{G2033} also{G2532}: and they left{G2641}{(G5627)} no{G3756} children{G5043}, and{G2532} died{G599}{(G5627)}. 32 {G1161} Last{G5305} of all{G3956} the woman{G1135} died{G599}{(G5627)} also{G2532}. 33 Therefore{G3767} in{G1722} the resurrection{G386} whose{G5101} wife{G1135} of them{G846} is she{G1096}{(G5736)}? for{G1063} seven{G2033} had{G2192}{(G5627)} her{G846} to wife{G1135}. 34 And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} answering{G611}{(G5679)} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, The children{G5207} of this{G5127} world{G165} marry{G1060}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} are given in marriage{G1548}{(G5743)}: 35 But{G1161} they which shall be accounted worthy{G2661}{(G5685)} to obtain{G5177}{(G5629)} that{G1565} world{G165}, and{G2532} the resurrection{G386} from{G1537} the dead{G3498}, neither{G3777} marry{G1060}{(G5719)}, nor{G3777} are given in marriage{G1548}{(G5743)}: 36 Neither{G3777}{G1063} can{G1410}{(G5736)} they die{G599}{(G5629)} any more{G2089}: for{G1063} they are{G1526}{(G5748)} equal unto the angels{G2465}; and{G2532} are{G1526}{(G5748)} the children{G5207} of God{G2316}, being{G5607}{(G5752)} the children{G5207} of the resurrection{G386}. 37 Now{G1161} that{G3754} the dead{G3498} are raised{G1453}{(G5743)}, even{G2532} Moses{G3475} shewed{G3377}{(G5656)} at{G1909} the bush{G942}, when{G5613} he calleth{G3004}{(G5719)} the Lord{G2962} the God{G2316} of Abraham{G11}, and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Isaac{G2464}, and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Jacob{G2384}. 38 For{G1161} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} a God{G2316} of the dead{G3498}, but{G235} of the living{G2198}{(G5723)}: for{G1063} all{G3956} live{G2198}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}. 39 Then{G1161} certain{G5100} of the scribes{G1122} answering{G611}{(G5679)} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Master{G1320}, thou hast well{G2573} said{G2036}{(G5627)}. 40 And{G1161} after that{G3765} they durst{G5111}{(G5707)} not{G3765} ask{G1905}{(G5721)} him{G846} any{G3762} question at all.
