Matthew 22:17-21
New International Version
17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a](A) to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(B) and to God what is God’s.”
