Luke 20:22-26

22So tell us your answer to this question: Should we pay our taxes to the Roman ruler, Caesar? Is it right to give that money to him, or not?’

23Jesus knew that those men were not really honest. They wanted to make him say the wrong thing.

24So he said to them, ‘Show me a coin. Tell me, whose picture is on this coin? Whose name is on it?’

25The men replied, ‘It is Caesar's picture and Caesar's name.’ Jesus then said to them, ‘So you should give to Caesar the things that belong to him. And give to God the things that belong to God.’

26So the Jewish leaders could not make Jesus say anything wrong. They were very surprised at his answer to their question. They could not say anything more against him. All the people who were there saw this.
