15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” Having heard it they said, “May it never be!”
17Then He looked directly at them and said: “What then is this that is written: ‘A stone that the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone’?
18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it should fall—it will crush him!”
19The chief priests and the scribes wanted to lay hands on Him right then, but they were afraid —they knew He had spoken this parable against them.
20Keeping a close watch on Him, they sent spies, who pretended to be innocent, so that they might latch on to something He said, so as to hand Him over to the power and the authority of the governor.
21So they questioned Him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and you do not show favoritism but teach the way of God in truth.
22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23But He perceived their craftiness and said to them: “Why are you testing me?
24Show me a denarius—whose image and inscription does it have?” In answer they said, “Caesar's.”
25So He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
26They were unable to latch on to His word in front of the people; and marveling at His answer they kept silent.
27Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned Him,
28saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's married brother dies childless, then his brother should take the widow and produce offspring for his brother.
29Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife and died childless;
30then the second took the widow and he died childless;
31then the third took her, in fact all seven in sequence—they all died childless.
32Finally, last of all, the woman died also.
33Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since all seven had her?”
