Matthew 22:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 22:19

17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 But Jesus¹ perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?

19 Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius.

20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”

21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, ^a“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are ^bCaesar’s, and to God the things that are ^cGod’s.”

22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?

23 ^aThe same day the Sadducees, ^bwho say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

24 saying: “Teacher, ^aMoses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
