Luke:20:20-26

*
And they watched him ,
and sent forth spies ,
who feigned themselves to be righteous ,
that they might take hold of his speech ,
so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor .
*
And they asked him ,
saying ,
Teacher ,
we know that you say and teach rightly ,
and do not accept the person [
of any ],
but of a truth teach the way of God :
*
Is it lawful for us to give tax to Caesar ,
or not ?
*
But he perceived their craftiness ,
and said to them ,
*
Show me a denarius .
Whose image and superscription does it have ?
And they said ,
Caesar '
s .
*
And he said to them ,
Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar '
s ,
and to God the things that are God '
s .
*
And they were not able to take hold of what he said before the people :
and they marveled at his answer ,
and held their peace .
