words, that so they might deliver him unto the 20
power and authority of the governor. And they 21
asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou M". 22.
art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, 16
neither carest thou for any man: for thou re-
gardest not the person of men. Tell us there- 17
fore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Cæsar, or not? But Jesus per- 18
ceived their wickedness, and said, "Why tempt

ye me, ye hypocrites? shew me the tribute 19 "money." And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, "Whose is this image 20

which say that there is no resurrection, and Acts 23.8. 24 asked him, saying, Master, Moses said, If a Deut. 25. man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his bro25 ther. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto 26 his brother: likewise the second also, and the 27 third, unto the seventh. And last of all the 28 woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection

whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they 29 all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them,

"Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the L. 20. " power of God. The children of this world 34, 35" marry, and are given in marriage: but they “which shall be accounted worthy to obtain

that world, and the resurrection from the "dead, neither marry, nor are given in mar36" riage: neither can they die any more: for 66 d they are equal unto the angels; and are the 1 Cor. 15. children of God, being the children of the

"not the God of the dead, but the God of the M". 22. “living: ye therefore do greatly err." And when 33 the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he

THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to A. D. 33. 1, 2 his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pha-Neh. 8. 3" risees sit in Moses' seat: all therefore what- Mal. 2. 7.
