Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 12
¹² And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away.
¹³ Then they *sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.
¹⁴ They *came and *said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
¹⁵ Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at."
¹⁶ They brought one. And He *said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar’s."
¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s." And they were amazed at Him.
¹⁸ Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) *came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,
¹⁹ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves behind a wife and leaves no child, his brother should marry the wife and raise up children to his brother.
²⁰ There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no children.
²¹ The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;
²² and so all seven left no children. Last of all the woman died also.
