17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
18 But Jesus knew their evil plans. He said, "You pretenders! Why are you trying to trap me?
19 Show me the coin people use for paying the tax." They brought him a silver coin.
20 He asked them, "Whose picture is this? And whose words?"
21 "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give to God what belongs to God."
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
23 That same day the Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. They do not believe that people rise from the dead.
