23:1 Then they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in [his] talk.
23:2 And when they had come, they say to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and do not care about [what] anyone [thinks]: for you do not regard the person of men. 23:3 Tell us therefore, What do you think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 23:4 But Jesus perceived their hypocrisy, and said, Why do you+ make trial of me? 23:5 Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denarius. 23:6 And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? 23:7 They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's. 23:8 And when they heard it, they marveled. 23:9 And there came to him Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 23:10 saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother will marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 23:11 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed, left his wife to his brother; 23:12 in like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh. 23:13 And after them all, the woman died. 23:14 In the resurrection therefore whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her. 23:15 But Jesus answered and said to them, Is it not for this cause that you+ err, that you+ don't know the Scriptures, nor the power of God? 23:16 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 23:17 But as concerning the dead, that they are raised; have you+ not read in the Book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 23:18 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not [the God] of the dead, but of the living. 23:19 And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and having seeing that he answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? 23:20 Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one: 23:21 and you will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. 23:22 The second is this, You will love your fellow man as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 23:23 And no man after that dared ask him any question. 23:24 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 23:25 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, Yahweh said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Until I set your enemies under your feet. 23:26 David himself calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the large crowd heard him gladly. 23:27 And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces, 23:28 and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts: 23:29 those who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation. |
