18. Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered; but the one upon whom it falls, it will crush him.”
19. The Torah scholars and the ruling kohanim tried to grab Him that very hour, because they realized that He spoke this parable against them—but they feared the people.
20. Now they watched Him and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order to trap Him in His words so they could hand Him over to the power and authority of the governor.
21. And they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You tell it straight and You teach it straight. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God according to the truth.
22. Is it permitted for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23. But carefully considering their treachery, Yeshua said to them,
24. “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they said, “Caesar’s.”
25. Then He said to them, “Well then, give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26. And they could not trap Him in His words in the presence of the people. Astonished by His answer, they kept silent.
27. Then some of the Sadducees (who deny there is a resurrection) came and questioned Yeshua.
28. “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that ‘if a man’s brother dies’ having a wife ‘but no children, then his brother should take the widow and father children for his brother.’
29. Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless;
30. and the second
31. and the third took her, but in this same way, each of the seven brothers died and left no children.
32. Finally the woman died too.
33. So in the resurrection, whose wife is she? For all seven had married her.”
34. Yeshua said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35. But those considered worthy to reach the olam ha-ba and the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36. For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37. But at the burning bush even Moses revealed that the dead are raised, when he calls Adonai ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38. Now He is God not of the dead but of the living, for to Him they all are living.”
