20:20 Then 1 they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. 2 They wanted to take advantage of what he might say 3 so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction 4 of the governor. 20:21 Thus 5 they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, 6 and show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 7 20:22 Is it right 8 for us to pay the tribute tax 9 to Caesar 10 or not?” 20:23 But Jesus 11 perceived their deceit 12 and said to them, 20:24 “Show me a denarius. 13 Whose image 14 and inscription are on it?” 15 They said, “Caesar’s.” 20:25 So 16 he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 17 20:26 Thus 18 they were unable in the presence of the people to trap 19 him with his own words. 20 And stunned 21 by his answer, they fell silent.
