20And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
21and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
22Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?`
23And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt?
24shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?` and they answering said, `Of Caesar:`
25and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`
26and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
