22Is it right for us to pay the tribute tax to Caesar or not?”

23But Jesus perceived their deceit and said to them,

24“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They said, “Caesar’s.”

25So he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
