Matthew 22:15-22

New Matthew Bible

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees went and took counsel, how they might tangle him in his words. ¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples with Herod’s servants, saying, Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truly, neither mind any person, for you do not consider men’s estate. ¹⁷ Tell us therefore what you think: is it lawful to remit tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁸ Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why do you bait me, you hypocrites? ¹⁹ Let me see the tribute coin. So they brought him a denarius. ²⁰ And he said to them, Whose image and superscription is this? ²¹ They said to him, Caesar’s. Then he said to them, Give therefore to Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and give to God that which is God’s.

²² When they heard that, they marvelled, and left him and went their way.
