Matthew 22:11-22

11“But when the kingG935 cameG1525 inG1525 to lookG2300 overG2300 the 1dinnerG345 guestsG345, he sawG3708 2a manG444 thereG1563 who was not dressedG1746 in weddingG1062 clothesG1742, 12and he saidG3004 to him, ‘3FriendG2083, howG4459 did you getG1525 inG1525 hereG5602 withoutG3361G2192 weddingG1062 clothesG1742?’ And the man was speechlessG5392. 13ThenG5119 the kingG935 saidG3004 to the servantsG1249, ‘TieG1210 his handsG5495 and feetG4228, and throwG1544 him into 4the outerG1857 darknessG4655; there will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599 inG1563 thatG1563 placeG1563.’ 14For manyG4183 are 56calledG2822, but fewG3641 are 7chosenG1588.”

158ThenG5119 the PhariseesG5330 wentG4198 and 9plottedG4824G2983 togetherG4824 howG3704 they might trapG3802 Him 10in what He saidG3056. 16And they sentG649 their disciplesG3101 to Him, along with the 11HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225, and 12do not careG3199 what anyoneG3762 thinks; for You 13are not partialG991G4383 to anyoneG3762. 17TellG3004 us thenG3767, whatG5101 do You thinkG1380? Is it 14permissibleG1832 to payG1325 a 1516poll-taxG2778 to 17CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?” 18But JesusG2424 perceivedG1097 their 18maliceG4189, and saidG3004, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me, you hypocritesG5273? 19ShowG1925 Me the 19coinG3546 used for the poll-taxG2778.” And they broughtG4374 Him a 20denariusG1220. 20And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 imageG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” 21They saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to them, “21ThenG3767 payG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541; and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” 22And hearingG191 this, they were amazedG2296; and 22they leftG863 Him and wentG565 awayG565.
