Matthew 22:15-22
Then the Pharisees went off and made plans to trap Him in what He said.
They sent some of their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, and said, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Tell us then what You think about this: Is it lawful or not for us to pay taxes to Caesar?”
Jesus was aware of their malicious intent, and He said, “You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap Me?
Show Me the coin that is used for paying the tax.”
When they brought Him a Denarius, He asked them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”
They replied, “Caesar’s.”
On hearing this, He said to them, “Give to Caesar what is due to Caesar, and to God what is due to God.”
Stunned on hearing this reply, they went away and left Him alone.
