Mark 12, 13--27 Paying Taxes to the Emperor & The Question about thr Ressurection

[안젤라]

Paying Taxes to the Emperor

13   They sent some Pharisees and Herodians tp him to ensnare him in his speech.

14   They came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man

       and that you are not concerned with anyone's opinion. You do no regard

       a person's status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

       Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay, or should

       we not pay. 

15   Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me

       a denarius to look at."

16  They brought one to him and he said to them, "Whose image and inscription

       is this?" They replied to him, "Caesar's."

17  So Jesus said to them, "Repay to Caesar and to go what belongs to God."

      They were utterly amazed at him.

The Question about the Resurrection

18   Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and put

       the question to him,

19   saying "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If someone's brother dies, having
       a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants

       for his brother.

20   Now there were seven brothers . The first married a woman and died,

       leaving no descendants.

21   So the second married her and died, leaving no descendants,

       and the third likewise.

22   And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died.

23   At the resurrection [when they arise] whose wife will she be? For all seven

       had been married to her."

24   Jesus said to them, "Are you not missed because you do noy know

       the scriptures or the power of God? 

25   When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage,

       but they are like the angles in heaven.

26   As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses,

       in the passage about the bush, how God told him. "I am the God of Abraham,

       [the] God of Israel, [the] God of Jacob'?

27   He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly missed."
