Compare all
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.

Mark 12:17

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's—Putting it in this general form, it was impossible for sedition itself to dispute it, and yet it dissolved the snare.

and to God the things that are God's—How much is there in this profound but to them startling addition to the maxim, and how incomparable is the whole for fulness, brevity, clearness, weight!

and they marvelled at him—"at His answer, and held their peace" (Luke 20:26), "and left Him, and went their way" (Matthew 22:22).

The Resurrection (Mark 12:18-27).
