Matthew 22:16-22
16They sentG649 theirG846 disciplesG3101 to HimG846 along withG3326 theG3588 HerodiansG2265. “TeacherG1320,” they saidG3004, “we knowG1492 thatG3754 You areG1510 honestG227 andG2532 that You teachG1321 theG3588 wayG3598 of GodG2316 in accordance withG1722 the truthG225. YouG4771 seek favorG3199 fromG4012 no oneG3756G3762, becauseG1063 You pay no attentionG3756G991 toG1519 external appearanceG4383G444. 17SoG3767 tellG2036 usG1473 whatG5101 YouG4771 thinkG1380: Is it lawfulG1832 to payG1325 taxesG2778 to CaesarG2541 orG2228 notG3756?”
18ButG1161 JesusG2424 knewG1097 theirG846 evil intentG4189 and saidG2036, “You hypocritesG5273, whyG5101 are you testingG3985 MeG1473? 19ShowG1925 MeG1473 theG3588 coinG3546 used forG3588 the taxG2778.”
AndG1161 they broughtG4374 HimG846 a denariusG1220.1
20“WhoseG5101 imageG1504 is thisG3778,” He askedG3004G846, “andG2532 whoseG3588 inscriptionG1923?”
21“Caesar’sG2541,” they answeredG3004G846.
SoG3767 Jesus toldG3004 themG846, “GiveG591 to CaesarG2541 whatG3588 is Caesar’sG2541, andG2532 to GodG2316 whatG3588 is God’sG2316.”
22AndG2532 when they heardG191 this, they were amazedG2296. SoG2532 they leftG863 HimG846 and went awayG565.
