13 But they sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him for the purpose of entrapping Him in His speech. 14 And they came up and said to Him, Teacher, we know that You are 1 sincere and what You profess to be, that You cannot lie, and that You have no personal bias for anyone; for You are not influenced by partiality and have no 2 regard for anyone's external condition or position, but in [and on the basis of] truth You teach the way of God. Is it lawful (permissible and right) to give tribute ( 2 poll taxes) to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay [them] or should we not pay [them]? But knowing their hypocrisy, He asked them, Why do you put Me to the test? Bring Me a coin (a denarius), so I may see it. 16 And they brought [Him one]. Then He asked them, Whose image (picture) is this? And whose superscription ( 4 title)? They said to Him, Caesar's. 17 Jesus said to them, Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to 5 God the things that are God's. And they 6 stood marveling and greatly amazed at Him.
