Matthew 22:19-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
19Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax.' And they brought Him a denarius. 20And He *said to them, 'Whose image and inscription is this?' 21They *said to Him, 'Caesar’s.' Then He *said to them, 'Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.' 22And hearing this, they were amazed; and they left Him and went away.
23On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,
24saying, 'Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’
25Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh.
27Last of all, the woman died.
28In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.'
29But Jesus answered and said to them, 'You are mistaken, since you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
31But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:
32‘I AM THE God OF ABRAHAM, THE God OF ISAAC, AND THE God OF JACOB’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.'
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him:
36Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?'
37And He said to him, '?‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE Lord YOUR God WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
38This is the great and foremost commandment.
39The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
40Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.'
King James Version
Chapter 22
19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription 21They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32I 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.
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Chapter 22
19Show me the coin used for the tax." They brought him a denarius. 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."
22When 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.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first got married and died. Having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.
26The same thing happened to the second also, and the third, and so on to all seven.
27Last of all, the woman died.
28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had married her."
29Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, because you don’t know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.
31Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God:
32I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
34When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together.
35And one of them, an expert in the law, asked a question to test him:
36"Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
19Here, show me the coin used for the tax.' When they handed him a Roman coin, 20he asked, 'Whose picture and title are stamped on it?'
23That same day Jesus was approached by some Sadducees — religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:
24Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.’
25Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children, so his brother married the widow.
26But the second brother also died, and the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them.
27Last of all, the woman also died.
28So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.'
29Jesus replied, 'Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.
30For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.
31But now, as to whether there will be a resurrection of the dead — haven’t you ever read about this in the Scriptures? Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said,
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ So he is the God of the living, not the dead.'
34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again.
35One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question:
36Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?'
37Jesus replied, '‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
39A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.'

Chapter 22
19Show me the coin for the tax." And they brought him a denarius. 20And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" 21They said, "Caesar 's." Then he said to them, "Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's, and to God the things that are God 's." 22When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.
23The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,
24saying, "Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26So too the second and third, down to the seventh.
27After them all, the woman died.
28In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her."
29But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
31And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:
32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living."
33And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"
37And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38This is the great and first commandment.
39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
New International Version
Chapter 22
19Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?"
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24"Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27Finally, the woman died.
28Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
31But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you,
32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
New King James Version
21They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
23The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
25Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
27Last of all the woman died also.
28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
31But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

33And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
