Mark 12:15

Mark 12:13-17

¹³And they send to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to trap him in what he said. ¹⁴And they came and say to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and you do not care about anyone; for you do not look at the face of people, but in truth you teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay tax to Caesar, or not? Should we pay, or should we not pay?” ¹⁵But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I may see it.” ¹⁶And they brought one. And he says to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.” ¹⁷And Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God.” And they were utterly amazed at him.

Matthew 22:15-22

¹⁵Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might trap him in his words. ¹⁶And they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God in truth, and you do not care about anyone, for you do not look at the face of people. ¹⁷Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay the tax to Caesar, or not?” ¹⁸But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, “Why are you testing me, hypocrites? ¹⁹Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. ²⁰And he says to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” ²¹They say to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he says to them, “Give back, then, to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God.” ²²And when they heard it, they were amazed; and leaving him, they went away.

Luke 20:20-26

²⁰And watching him closely, they sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so that they might catch him in a word, so as to hand him over to the rule and the authority of the governor. ²¹And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not show partiality, but teach the way of God in truth. ²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?” ²³But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them, ²⁴“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they answered and said, “Caesar’s.” ²⁵And he said to them, “Then give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.” ²⁶And they were not able to catch him in any saying in front of the people; and marveling at his answer, they fell silent.
