Matthew:22:15-22

*
Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might trap Him in His speech .
*
And they sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we know that You are true ,
and teach the way of God in truth ;
nor do You show favoritism to anyone .
*
Tell us ,
therefore ,
what do You think ?
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar ,
or not ?"
*
But Jesus ,
knowing their wickedness ,
said , "
Why do you test Me , [
you ]
hypocrites ?
*
Show Me the tax money ."
So they brought Him a denarius .
*
And He said to them , "
Whose image and inscription is this ?"
*
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 ."
*
When they had heard these words ,
they marveled ,
and leaving Him ,
they went away .
