ABU(i)
19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that hour; and they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 And watching him, they sent forth spies, feigning themselves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the magistracy, and to the authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and regardest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly.
22 Is it lawful that we should give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 And perceiving their craftiness, he said to them:
24 Show me a denáry. Whose image and inscription has it? And answering they said: Caesar's.
25 And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
