Matthew 22:15-22
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ (A)Then went the Pharisees and took counsel how they might [a]tangle him in talk.
16 And they sent unto him their disciples with the [b]Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God [c]truly, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the [d]person of men.
17 [e]Tell us therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give [f]tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought him a [g]penny.
20 And he said unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They said unto him, Caesar’s. Then said he unto them, (B)Give therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s, and give unto God, those things which are God’s.
22 And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
