Luke 20:21
Compare all
19 And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they1 feared the people —for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.  

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?

20 aSo they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.  
21 Then they asked Him, saying, a“Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:  
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them,1 “Why do you test Me?  
24 Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
25 And He said to them, a“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”  
26 But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?

27 aThen some of the Sadducees, bwho deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,  
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.  
31 Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven1 also; and they left no children, and died.  
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.”
34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 But those who are acounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;  
36 nor can they die anymore, for athey are equal to the angels and are sons of God, bbeing sons of the resurrection.  
37 But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord a‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’  
38 For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for aall live to Him.”  
39 Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”
40 But after that they dared not question Him anymore.

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?

41 And He said to them, a“How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David?  
42 Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms:
a‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand, 
43 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
44 Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; ahow is He then his Son?”  

Beware of the Scribes

45 aThen, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,  
46 a“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, blove greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,
