13Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
14“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”
15But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
16So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
17Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
