*
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk .
*
And they sent their disciples to him ,
along with the Hero '
di-ans ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we know that you are true ,
and teach the way of God truthfully ,
and care for no man ;
for you do not regard the position of men .
*
Tell us ,
then ,
what you think .
Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar ,
or not ?"
*
But Jesus ,
aware of their malice ,
said , "
Why put me to the test ,
you hypocrites ?
*
Show me the money for the tax ."
And they brought him a coin .
*
And Jesus said to them , "
Whose likeness and inscription is this ?"
*
They said , "
Caesar '
s ."
Then 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 heard it ,
they marveled ;
and they left him and went away .
