Matthew 22:15-22
15 |
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. |
16 |
And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. |
17 |
Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? |
18 |
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? |
19 |
Show Me the tax money. So they brought Him a denarius. |
20 |
And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" |
21 |
They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." |
22 |
When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way. |
