They watched him ,
and sent out spies ,
who pretended to be righteous ,
that they might trap him in something he said ,
so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor .
*
They asked him , "
Teacher ,
we know that you say and teach what is right ,
and aren '
t partial to anyone ,
but truly teach the way of God .
*
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 are on it ?"
They answered , "
Caesar '
s ."
*
He said to them , "
Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar '
s ,
and to God the things that are God '
s ."
*
They weren '
t able to trap him in his words before the people .
They marveled at his answer ,
and were silent .
