Matthew 22:15-22

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ ¶ Then the Pharisees left and took counsel how they might entangle him in his word.

¹⁶ And they sent out unto him their disciples with those of Herod, saying, Master, we know that thou art a lover of truth and teachest the way of God with truth and that thou takest care for no man, for thou art no respecter of persons of men.

¹⁷ Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not?

¹⁸ But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

¹⁹ Show me the coin of the tribute. And they presented unto him a denarius.

²⁰ And he said unto them, Whose is this image and supion?

²¹ They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then said he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.

²² When they had heard these words, they marvelled and left him and went away.
