Luke:20:20-26

*
And they watched him ,
and sent forth spies ,
which should feign themselves just men ,
that they might take hold of his words ,
that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor .
*
And they asked him ,
saying ,
Master ,
we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly ,
neither acceptest thou the person of any ,
but teachest the way of God truly :
*
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar ,
or no ?
*
But he perceived their craftiness ,
and said unto them ,
Why tempt ye me ?
*
Shew me a penny .
Whose image and superscription hath it ?
They answered and said ,
Caesar '
s .
*
And he said unto them ,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar '
s ,
and unto God the things which be God '
s .
*
And they could not take hold of his words before the people :
and they marvelled at his answer ,
and held their peace .
