Matthew 22:15-22

Lamsa(i) 15 Then the Pharisees went away and took counsel how to trap him by a word. 16 So they sent to him their disciples together with the Herodians, and they said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and you teach the way of God justly; and you do not favor any man, for you do not discriminate between men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay head-tax to Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus knew their evil, and said, Why do you tempt me, O hypocrites? 19 Show me the head-tax penny. And they brought to him a penny. 20 And Jesus said to them, Whose is this image and inscription? 21 They said, CaesarÆs. He said to them, Give therefore to Caesar what is CaesarÆs, and to God what is GodÆs. 22 And when they heard it, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
