24“Show me a Roman coin. Then tell me whose picture is on it. And tell me whose name is on it.” They showed him a coin and said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, the head of the Roman government.”
25He said to them, “In that case, give to the government MTY what they require, and give to God what he requires.”
26While the people were there, the spies were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27Some Sadducees came to Jesus. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28They wanted to ask Jesus a question in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again. One of them said to Jesus, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us Jews about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the dead man's widow so that she can have a child by him. People will consider that the child is the descendant of the man who died, and in that way the dead man will have descendants.
29Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30The second brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him.
31Then the third brother married her, but the same thing happened again. All seven brothers, one by one, married that woman, but they had no children, and one by one they died.
32Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33Therefore, if it is true that there will be a time when dead people will become alive again, whose wife do you think that woman will be then? ◄ Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because she was married to all seven brothers!► RHQ”
34Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives by their parents {their parents choose wives for them}.
