Matthew 22:15-40

151ThenG5119 the PhariseesG5330 wentG4198 and 2plottedG4824 togetherG4824 howG3704 they might trapG3802 Him 3in what He saidG3056. 16And they sentG649 their disciplesG3101 to Him, along with the 4HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225, and 5deferG3199 to noG3762 oneG3762; for You are not partialG991G4383 to anyG3762. 17TellG3004 us thenG3767, whatG5101 do You thinkG1380? Is it 6lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 a 7poll-taxG2778 to 8CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?” 18But JesusG2424 perceivedG1097 their 9maliceG4189, and saidG3004, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me, you hypocritesG5273? 19ShowG1925 Me the 10coinG3546 used for the poll-taxG2778.” And they broughtG4374 Him a 11denariusG1220. 20And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 likenessG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” 21They saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to them, “12ThenG3767 renderG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541; and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” 22And hearingG191 this, they were amazedG2296, and 13leavingG863 Him, they wentG565 awayG565.

2314On that dayG2250 some 15SadduceesG4523 (who sayG3004 16there is noG3361 resurrectionG386) cameG4334 to Jesus and questionedG1905 Him, 24askingG3004, “TeacherG1320, MosesG3475 saidG3004, ‘17IfG1437 a manG5100 diesG599 havingG2192 noG3361 childrenG5043, his brotherG80 as next of kin shall marryG1918 his wifeG1135, and raiseG450 up childrenG5043 for his brotherG80.’ 25NowG1161 there were sevenG2033 brothersG80 with us; and the firstG4413 marriedG1060 and diedG5053, and havingG2192 noG3361 childrenG4690 leftG863 his wifeG1135 to his brotherG80; 26soG3668 alsoG2532 the secondG1208, and the thirdG5154, downG2193 to the seventhG2033. 27LastG5305 of allG3956, the womanG1135 diedG599. 28In the resurrectionG386, thereforeG3767, whoseG5101 wifeG1135 of the sevenG2033 will she be? For they allG3956 hadG2192 married her.”

29But JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “You are mistakenG4105, 18not 19understandingG3609 the ScripturesG1124 norG3366 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. 30For in the resurrectionG386 they neitherG3777 20marryG1060 norG3777 are givenG1061 in marriageG1061, but are likeG5613 angelsG32 in heavenG3772. 31But regardingG4012 the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, have you not readG314 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 to you by GodG2316: 32‘21I amG1510 the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, and the GodG2316 of JacobG2384’? He is not the GodG2316 of the deadG3498 but of the livingG2198.” 33When the crowdsG3793 heardG191 this, 22they were astonishedG1605 at His teachingG1322.

3423But when the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 that Jesus had silencedG5392 24the SadduceesG4523, they gatheredG4863 themselves togetherG1909G3588G846. 35OneG1520 of them, 2526a lawyerG3544, askedG1905 Him a question, testingG3985 Him, 36“TeacherG1320, whichG4169 is the greatG3173 commandmentG1785 in the LawG3551?” 37And He saidG5346 to him, “‘27You shall loveG25 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 with allG3650 your heartG2588, and with allG3650 your soulG5590, and with allG3650 your mindG1271.’ 38ThisG3778 is the greatG3173 and 28foremostG4413 commandmentG1785. 39The secondG1208 is likeG3664 it, ‘29You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.’ 4030On theseG3778 twoG1417 commandmentsG1785 dependG2910 the wholeG3650 LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396.”
