Luke 20:19-26

Murdock(i) 19 And the chief priests and Scribes sought to lay hands on him, at that time; but they were afraid of the people; for they knew, that he spoke this similitude against them. 20 And they sent to him spies, who feigned themselves righteous men, that they might insnare him in discourse, and deliver him up to a court, and to the authority of the president. 21 And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay head-money to Caesar, or not? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me? 24 Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's. 25 Jesus said to them: Then, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. 26 And they could not catch from him a word of accusation before the people: and they were surprised at his answers, and were silent.
