Matthew 22:11-22

11"But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment.

12And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

13Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

14For many are called, but few are chosen."

15Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words.

16And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances.

17Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

18But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?

19Show me the coin for the tax." And they brought him a denarius.

20And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

21They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

22When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.
