Matthew 22:16-22

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹⁶ And they sent ^(A)their disciples to him, along with ^(B)the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, ^(C)we know that you are true and teach ^(D)the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for ^(E)you are not swayed by appearances.^{[a] 17} Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay ^(F)taxes to ^(G)Caesar, or not?” ¹⁸ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why ^(H)put me to the test, you hypocrites? ¹⁹ Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.^{[b] 20} And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” ²¹ They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, ^(I)“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” ²² When they heard it, they marvelled. And they ^(J)left him and went away.
