Paying Taxes to Caesar
Matthew 22:15-22
15
Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
16
And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.
17
Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
18
But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19
Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
20
And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21
They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods.
22
And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
