예수님의 가르침은 언제나 진리였고, 그 진리는 종교 지도자들의 마음속 위선을 찔렀습니다. 누가복음 20장 후반부에는 바리새인과 서기관, 사두개인들이 예수님을 올무에 빠뜨리기 위해 교묘한 질문을 던지는 장면이 나옵니다. 그들은 예수님을 말로 시험하여 로마 총독에게 넘기려 했지만, 예수님은 진리로 그들의 함정을 간파하십니다.
예수님은 세속 권력과 하나님의 권위를 분명히 구분하시고, 부활이 실제로 존재함을 모세의 율법 속에서 증명하십니다. 이 본문은 예수님의 지혜와 하나님의 나라에 속한 자들의 정체성을 깊이 묵상하게 만듭니다.

🕵️♂️ Jesus Tested with Taxes – (vv.19–26)
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be honest. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.
21 So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24 "Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?"
25 "Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
🌿 Jesus Questioned about the Resurrection – (vv.27–40)
27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question.
28 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother.
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless.
30 The second
31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children.
32 Finally, the woman died too.
33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"
34 Jesus replied, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.
37 But in the account of the bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive."
39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, "Well said, teacher!"
40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
