Matthew 22:16-22

16And they sentG649 their disciplesG3101 to Him, along with the 1HerodiansG2265, sayingG3004, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225, and 2do not careG3199 what anyoneG3762 thinks; for You 3are not partialG991G4383 to anyoneG3762. 17TellG3004 us thenG3767, whatG5101 do You thinkG1380? Is it 4permissibleG1832 to payG1325 a 56poll-taxG2778 to 7CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?” 18But JesusG2424 perceivedG1097 their 8maliceG4189, and saidG3004, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me, you hypocritesG5273? 19ShowG1925 Me the 9coinG3546 used for the poll-taxG2778.” And they broughtG4374 Him a 10denariusG1220. 20And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 imageG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” 21They saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to them, “11ThenG3767 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 12they leftG863 Him and wentG565 awayG565.
