16 Bathuma kuye abafundi babo kanye nabakaHerode, bathi: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso; awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu.
17 Ngakho sitshele, uthini wena? Kuvunyelwe ukuthela kuKesari noma qha?”
18 Kepha uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: “Bazenzisi, ningilingelani na?
19 Ngitshengiseni imali yokuthela,” bamtshengisa udenariyu.*
20 Wayesethi kubo: “Ngokabani lo mfanekiso nalo mbhalo na?”
21 Bathi: “NgokaKesari.”Khona wathi kubo: “Ngakho-ke nikani uKesari okukaKesari noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.”
22 Sebezwile lokho bamangala, bamshiya, bamuka.
