Matthew:22:15-22

*
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk .
*
They sent their disciples to him ,
along with the Herodians ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we know that you are honest ,
and teach the way of God in truth ,
no matter whom you teach ,
for you aren '
t partial to anyone .
*
Tell us therefore ,
what do you think ?
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar ,
or not ?"
*
But Jesus perceived their wickedness ,
and said , "
Why do you test me ,
you hypocrites ?
*
Show me the tax money ."
They brought to him a denarius .
*
He asked them , "
Whose is this image and inscription ?"
*
They said to him , "
Caesar '
s ."
Then he said to them , "
Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar '
s ,
and to God the things that are God '
s ."
*
When they heard it ,
they marveled ,
and left him ,
and went away .
