Luke 20:21-26

Goodspeed(i) 21 And they asked him, "Master, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you show no favor, but teach the way of God in sincerity. 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?" 23 But he detected their trickery, and said to them, 24 "Show me a denarius. Whose head and title does it bear?" They said, "The emperor's." 25 He said to them, "Then pay the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and pay God what belongs to God!" 26 So they could not fasten on what he said before the people, and they were amazed at his answer, and said nothing more.
