Matthew 22:15-22

Taxes to Caesar

15 ^aThen the Pharisees went and took counsel together about how they might trap Him ¹in what He said. 16 And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the ^aHerodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and ¹defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. 17 Therefore, tell us, what do You think? Is it ¹lawful to give a ^atax to ^bCaesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the ^acoin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a ¹denarius. 20 And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “^aTherefore, render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they marveled, and ^aleaving Him, they went away.
