Paying Taxes to Caesar

15

Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

16

and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

17

tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'

18

And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

19

show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;

20

and he saith to them, `Whose is this image and the inscription?'

21

they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

22

and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
