Context of Matthew 22:22
20“Whose image and inscription is this?” he asked them. 21“Caesar’s,” they said to him. Then he said to them, “Give, then, to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. 23That same day some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up to him and questioned him: 24“Teacher, Moses said, if a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
