Mark Chapter 12 Verse 21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

‹This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?›

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.

And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, ‹Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see› [it].

And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, ‹Whose› [is] ‹this image and superscription?› And they said unto him, Caesar's.

And Jesus answering said unto them, ‹Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.› And they marvelled at him.

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

And Jesus answering said unto them, ‹Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?›

‹For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.›

‹And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I› [am] ‹the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?›

‹He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.›

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him, ‹The first of all the commandments› [is], ‹Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:›

‹And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this› [is] ‹the first commandment.›

‹And the second› [is] ‹like,› [namely] ‹this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.›
