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?”
34So in answer Jesus said to them: “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage;
35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, to the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36Because they cannot die anymore, being like angels—they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

40And they no longer dared to question Him further.
41Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's Son?
42Why David himself affirms in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right hand
43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
44Since David calls Him ‘Lord’, how then is He his Son?”
45Then, in the hearing of the people, He said to His disciples:
