Verse
Matthew - ch 22 v 21 - 40
- They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
- And when they heard him, they wondered, and left him, and went away.
- On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
- saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.
- Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
- In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
- And last of all the woman also died.
- In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
- And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
- For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
- But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
- I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.
- And when the crowds heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.
- But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.
- And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
- Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
- And he said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
- This is the great and first commandment.
- And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
- On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
