God and Caesar

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him by what He said.^{[a](A) 16} They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians.^(B) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.^{[b](C) 17} Tell us, therefore, what You think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar^(D) or not?”
