Matthew 22:12-17
New King James Version
12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was (A)speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, [a]take him away, and cast him (B)into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 (C)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(D)
15 (E)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the (F)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [b]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
