Context
Tribute to Caesar

15Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, neither care you for any man: for you regard not the person of men. 17Tell us therefore, What think you? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt you me, you hypocrites? 19Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny. 20And he said to them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They say to him, Caesar's. Then said he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's. 22When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
