17 Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it against our Law to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor, or not?”
18 Jesus, however, was aware of their evil plan, and so he said, “You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me?
19 Show me the coin for paying the tax!”They brought him the coin,
20 and he asked them, “Whose face and name are these?”
21 “The Emperor's,” they answered.So Jesus said to them, “Well, then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay to God what belongs to God.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
23 That same day some Sadducees came to Jesus and claimed that people will not rise from death.
