Verse
Matthew - ch 22 v 21 - 40
- They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
- And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
- That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
- Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
- Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.
- In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
- And last of all the woman died also.
- At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
- And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
- For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
- And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
- I 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.
- And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
- But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
- And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
- Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
- Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
- This is the greatest and the first commandment.
- And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
- On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
