Mark 12:13
Compare all
11 This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 aAnd they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.  

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

13 aThen they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.  
14 When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and1 care about no one; for You do not2 regard the person of men, but teach the away of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?  
15 Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their ahypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.”  
16 So they brought it. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
17 And Jesus answered and said to them,1 “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to aGod the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at Him.  

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?

18 aThen some Sadducees, bwho say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:  
19 “Teacher, aMoses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.  
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.
21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.
22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.
23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore1 mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?  
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but aare like angels in heaven.  
26 But concerning the dead, that they arise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, b‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?  
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly1 mistaken.”  

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?

28 aThen one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together,1 perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the2 first commandment of all?”  
29 Jesus answered him, “The1 first of all the commandments is: a‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
