Luke 20:20-22
King James Version
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

Pitanje o porezu
(Mt 22,15-22; Mk 12,13-17)
20 Učitelji Zakona i svećenici pratili su Isusa i slali za njim uhode koji su se pretvarali da su iskreni kako bi ga uhvatili u riječi, da bi ga predali vladajućem upravitelju. 21 Stoga, uhode su ga upitali: »Učitelju, znamo da govoriš i poučavaš istinu i da kod tebe nema pristranosti, već da ispravno učiš Božjem putu. 22 Je li ispravno da mi plaćamo porez caru ili nije?«
