Luke 20:20-26

201SoG5620 they watchedG3906 Him, and sentG649 spiesG1455 who 2pretendedG5271 to be righteousG1342, in orderG2443 3that they might 4catchG1949 Him in some statementG3056, soG5620 that they could deliverG3860 Him to the ruleG746 and the authorityG1849 of 5the governorG2232. 21They questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You speakG3004 and teachG1321 correctlyG3723, and You 6are not partialG2983G4383 to any, but teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225. 22Is it 7lawfulG1832 for us 8to payG1325 taxesG5411 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?” 23But He detectedG2657 their trickeryG3834 and saidG3004 to them, 24“ShowG1166 Me a 9denariusG1220. WhoseG5101 10likenessG1504 and inscriptionG1923 does it haveG2192?” They saidG3004, “Caesar’sG2541.” 25And He saidG3004 to them, “ThenG5106 11renderG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” 26And they were unableG3756G2480 to 1213catchG1949 Him in a sayingG4487 in the presenceG1727 of the peopleG2992; and beingG2296 amazedG2296 at His answerG612, they becameG4601 silentG4601.
