Luke 20:20-25 they watch'd then, and suborn'd spies, who under pretence of their tender consciences, might ensnare him in his discourse, and so betray him to the civil power and jurisdiction of the governor.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ they watch'd then, and suborn'd spies, who under pretence of their tender consciences, might ensnare him in his discourse, and so betray him to the civil power and jurisdiction of the governor. ²¹ they address'd him therefore in this manner; master, we know that what you say and teach is all right. you are not influenc'd by the quality of men, but explain the divine law with sincerity: ²² should we pay tribute to Cesar, or no? ²³ but Jesus perceiving their malicious design, said to them, why do you practise upon me? ²⁴ show me a penny: whose image and inscription is this? they answer'd, Cesar's. ²⁵ render then, said he, to Cesar, what belongs to Cesar, and to God, what belongs to God.
