Luke 20:19-25

19The scribesG1122 and the chiefG749 priestsG749 1triedG2212 to layG1911 handsG5495 on Him that veryG846 hourG5610, and yet they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992; for they were awareG1097 that He had spokenG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850 againstG4314 them.

202And so they watchedG3906 Him 3closelyG3906, and sentG649 spiesG1455 who pretendedG5271 to be righteousG1342, inG2443 orderG2443 4that they might catchG1949 Him in some statementG3056, soG5620 thatG5620 they could handG3860 Him overG3860 to the jurisdictionG746 and authorityG1849 of 5the governorG2232.

21And the spies questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You speakG3004 and teachG1321 correctlyG3723, and You 6are not partialG2983G4383 to anyone, but You teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 on the basisG1909 of truthG225.

22Is it 7permissibleG1832 for us 8to payG1325 taxesG5411 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?”

23But He sawG2657 throughG2657 their trickeryG3834 and saidG3004 to them,

24“ShowG1166 Me a 9denariusG1220. WhoseG5101 imageG1504 and inscriptionG1923 does it haveG2192?” They saidG3004, “Caesar’sG2541.”

25And He saidG3004 to them, “ThenG5106 10payG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.”
