Luke 20:19-26

The Torah scholars and the ruling kohanim tried to grab Him that very hour, because they realized that He spoke this parable against them—but they feared the people. Now they watched Him and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order to trap Him in His words so they could hand Him over to the power and authority of the governor. And they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You tell it straight and You teach it straight. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God according to the truth. Is it permitted for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But carefully considering their treachery, Yeshua said to them, “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they said, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Well then, give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they could not trap Him in His words in the presence of the people. Astonished by His answer, they kept silent.
