22:15 Then the Pharisees ¹  went out and planned together to entrap him with his own words. ²  22:16 They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians, ³  saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. ⁴  You do not court anyone’s favor because you show no partiality. ⁵  22:17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right ⁶  to pay taxes ⁷  to Caesar ⁸  or not?”

22:18 But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me? 22:19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” So ⁹  they brought him a denarius. ¹⁰  22:20 Jesus ¹¹  said to them, “Whose image ¹²  is this, and whose inscription?” 22:21 They replied, ¹³  “Caesar’s.” He said to them, ¹⁴  “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” ¹⁵  22:22 Now when they heard this they were stunned, ¹⁶  and they left him and went away.
