17 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
18 Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
20 There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
21 Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:
22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
