Luke 20:19-22

19The scribes and the chief priests 1tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and yet they feared the people; for they were aware that He had spoken this parable against them.

202And so they watched Him 3closely, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order 4that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could hand Him over to the jurisdiction and authority of 5the governor.

21And the spies questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You 6are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth.

22Is it 7permissible for us 8to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
