Luke 20:19-25

19The scribesG1122 and the chiefG749 priestsG749 1triedG2212 to layG1911 handsG5495 on Him that veryG846 hourG5610, and they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992; for they understoodG1097 that He spokeG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 againstG4314 them.

202SoG5620 they watchedG3906 Him, and sentG649 spiesG1455 who 3pretendedG5271 to be righteousG1342, in orderG2443 4that they might 5catchG1949 Him in some statementG3056, soG5620 that they could deliverG3860 Him to the ruleG746 and the authorityG1849 of 6the governorG2232.

21They questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You speakG3004 and teachG1321 correctlyG3723, and You 7are not partialG2983G4383 to any, but teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225.

22Is it 8lawfulG1832 for us 9to payG1325 taxesG5411 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?”

23But He detectedG2657 their trickeryG3834 and saidG3004 to them,

24“ShowG1166 Me a 10denariusG1220. WhoseG5101 11likenessG1504 and inscriptionG1923 does it haveG2192?” They saidG3004, “Caesar’sG2541.”

25And He saidG3004 to them, “ThenG5106 12renderG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.”
