Mark 12:16

Verse 16 of 44. The 12th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

12They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.

13They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

14When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

15Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

16They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

17Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

18Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,

19“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’

20There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
