¹⁷Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

¹⁸But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me? ¹⁹Show me the coin used for the tax.” So they brought him a denarius. ²⁰Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?” ²¹They replied, “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.” ²²Now when they heard this they were stunned, and they left him and went away.
