15Then the Pharisees went and took counsel that they might trap him in a word.16And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true and that you teach the road of God in truth, and it is not a care to you about anyone, for you do not regard the face of humans.17Tell us therefore what seems right to you: is it lawful to give tax to Caesar or not?18But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why do you test me, hypocrites?19Show me the coin of the tax. So they brought him a denarius.20And he said to them, Whose is this image and inscription?21They said to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Therefore pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.22And when they heard this they marveled, and leaving him they went away.
