17 Ref Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 Ref But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?
19 Ref Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius.
20 Ref And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 Ref They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 Ref And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.

17 Ref Give us, then, your opinion of this: Is it right to give tax to Caesar, or not?
18 Ref But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?
19 Ref Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.
20 Ref And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?
21 Ref They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
22 Ref And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.
