Matthew - ch 22 v 21 - 40
- They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
- When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.
- On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
- saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'
- Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.
- In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
- After them all, the woman died.
- In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."
- But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
- For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.
- But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
- 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'1 God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
- When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
- But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
- One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
- "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
- Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'2
- This is the first and great commandment.
- A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'3
- The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
- Exodus 3:6
- Deuteronomy 6:5
- Leviticus 19:18
