Luke 20:20-25

20So they watched for an opportunity to send out some spies. The spies were to act like sincere religious people. They wanted to catch him saying the wrong thing so that they could hand him over to the governor.

21They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you’re right in what you say and teach. Besides, you don’t play favorites. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully.

22Is it right for us to pay taxes to the emperor or not?”

23He saw through their scheme, so he said to them,

24“Show me a coin. Whose face and name is this?” They answered, “The emperor’s.”

25He said to them, “Well, then give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”
