Luke 20:20-26
English Standard Version
20 (A)So they (B)watched him and sent spies, who (C)pretended to be sincere, that they might (D)catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of (E)the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and (F)show no partiality,[a] but truly teach (G)the way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to give (H)tribute to (I)Caesar, or not?” 23 But he perceived their (J)craftiness, and said to them, 24 “Show me (K)a denarius.[b] Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar's.” 25 He said to them, “Then (L)render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people (M)to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

New International Version
Paying Taxes to Caesar(A)
20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said,(B) so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.(C) 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.(D) 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(E) and to God what is God’s.”
26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
Proverbs 17:15-28
English Standard Version
15 He who (A)justifies the wicked and he who (B)condemns the righteous
are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
16 Why should a fool have money in his hand (C)to buy wisdom
when he has no sense?
17 (D)A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge
and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife;
he who (E)makes his door high seeks destruction.
20 (F)A man of crooked heart does not discover good,
and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
21 He who (G)sires a fool gets himself sorrow,
and the father of a fool has no joy.
22 (H)A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit (I)dries up the bones.
23 The wicked accepts (J)a bribe in secret[a]
to (K)pervert the ways of justice.
24 (L)The discerning sets his face toward wisdom,
but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25 (M)A foolish son is a grief to his father
(N)and bitterness to (O)her who bore him.
26 (P)To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good,
nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
27 Whoever (Q)restrains his words has knowledge,
and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool (R)who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

New International Version
16 Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom,
when they are not able to understand it?(C)
17 A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.(D)
18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.(E)
19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
21 To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.(F)
24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes(K) wander to the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.(L)
26 If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,(M)
surely to flog honest officials is not right.
27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,(N)
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.(O)
28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.(P)
