The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(A)
15 (B)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the (C)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [a]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus [b]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, (D)“Render[c] therefore to Caesar the things that are (E)Caesar’s, and to God the things that are (F)God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(G)
23 (H)The same day the Sadducees, (I)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: “Teacher, (J)Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [d]mistaken, (K)not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (L)are like angels [e]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 (M)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the multitudes heard this, (N)they were astonished at His teaching.

馬 太 福 音 22:15-33
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
15 當 時 ， 法 利 賽 人 出 去 商 議 ， 怎 樣 就 著 耶 穌 的 話 陷 害 他 ，
16 就 打 發 他 們 的 門 徒 同 希 律 黨 的 人 去 見 耶 穌 ， 說 ： 夫 子 ， 我 們 知 道 你 是 誠 實 人 ， 並 且 誠 誠 實 實 傳 神 的 道 ， 甚 麼 人 你 都 不 徇 情 面 ， 因 為 你 不 看 人 的 外 貌 。
17 請 告 訴 我 們 ， 你 的 意 見 如 何 ？ 納 稅 給 該 撒 可 以 不 可 以 ？
18 耶 穌 看 出 他 們 的 惡 意 ， 就 說 ： 假 冒 為 善 的 人 哪 ， 為 甚 麼 試 探 我 ？
19 拿 一 個 上 稅 的 錢 給 我 看 ！ 他 們 就 拿 一 個 銀 錢 來 給 他 。
20 耶 穌 說 ： 這 像 和 這 號 是 誰 的 ？
21 他 們 說 ： 是 該 撒 的 。 耶 穌 說 ： 這 樣 ， 該 撒 的 物 當 歸 給 該 撒 ； 神 的 物 當 歸 給 神 。
22 他 們 聽 見 就 希 奇 ， 離 開 他 走 了 。
23 撒 都 該 人 常 說 沒 有 復 活 的 事 。 那 天 ， 他 們 來 問 耶 穌 說 ：
24 夫 子 ， 摩 西 說 ： 人 若 死 了 ， 沒 有 孩 子 ， 他 兄 弟 當 娶 他 的 妻 ， 為 哥 哥 生 子 立 後 。
25 從 前 ， 在 我 們 這 裡 有 弟 兄 七 人 ， 第 一 個 娶 了 妻 ， 死 了 ， 沒 有 孩 子 ， 撇 下 妻 子 給 兄 弟 。
26 第 二 、 第 三 、 直 到 第 七 個 ， 都 是 如 此 。
27 末 後 ， 婦 人 也 死 了 。
28 這 樣 ， 當 復 活 的 時 候 ， 他 是 七 個 人 中 那 一 個 的 妻 子 呢 ？ 因 為 他 們 都 娶 過 他 。
29 耶 穌 回 答 說 ： 你 們 錯 了 ； 因 為 不 明 白 聖 經 ， 也 不 曉 得 神 的 大 能 。
30 當 復 活 的 時 候 ， 人 也 不 娶 也 不 嫁 ， 乃 像 天 上 的 使 者 一 樣 。
31 論 到 死 人 復 活 ， 神 在 經 上 向 你 們 所 說 的 ， 你 們 沒 有 念 過 麼 ？
32 他 說 ： 我 是 亞 伯 拉 罕 的 神 ， 以 撒 的 神 ， 雅 各 的 神 。 神 不 是 死 人 的 神 ， 乃 是 活 人 的 神 。
33 眾 人 聽 見 這 話 ， 就 希 奇 他 的 教 訓 。

Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(A)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(B) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a](C) to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(D) and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(E)
Marriage at the Resurrection(F)
23 That same day the Sadducees,(G) who say there is no resurrection,(H) came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.(I) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures(J) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(K) they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[b]?(L) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(M)
