Luke:20:20-26

*
So they watched Him ,
and sent spies who pretended to be righteous ,
that they might seize on His words ,
in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor .
*
Then they asked Him ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we know that You say and teach rightly ,
and You do not show personal favoritism ,
but teach the way of God in truth :
*
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not ?"
*
But He perceived their craftiness ,
and said to them , "
Why do you test Me ?
*
Show Me a denarius .
Whose image and inscription does it have ?"
They answered and said , "
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 ."
*
But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people .
And they marveled at His answer and kept silent .
