* Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might ensnare him during conversation . * So they sent their disciples to him , with the Herodians . "Teacher ," they said , "we know that you are honest , and that you are teaching the way of God in sincerity ; and are not afraid of any one , for you do not court mens favor . * "Give us your advice , then . Is it allowable to pay taxes to Caesar , or not ?" * And Jesus , because he knew their malice , said . * "Hypocrites ! Why are you tempting me ? Show me the tribute money ." So they brought him a shilling . * "Whose likeness and inscription is this ?" he asked . * "Caesars ," they answered . Then he said to them , "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars , and unto God the things that are Gods ." * When they heard this they were astonished , and left him and went away .
