Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's. JOHN. 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which be Cesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. Resurrection. (THIRD DAY OF THE WEEK.) Jerusalem. 27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees (which deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him, 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brethren and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 34 But when the Pharisees had 28 And one of the scribes came, heard that he had put the Sadducees and having heard them reasoning toto silence, they were gathered together, and perceiving that he had angether. swered them well, asked him, Which 35 Then one of them which was a is the first commandment of all? lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Ex. iii. 6. 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord : 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, b Deut. vi. 4, 5. Luke xx. 36, Neither can they die any more.] Here is a minute indication of St. Luke's veracity, derived from his medical profession. No other Evangelist records Resurrection.

And no man after that durst ask him any question. 121. How is Christ the Son of David? CH. XXII. 41-46. 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day forth, ask him any more questions. CH. XII. 35-37. 35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? 36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. § 122. Warnings against the evil example of the Scribes |
