Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" ¹⁵ He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it." ¹⁶ They handed him one. "This engraving--who does it look like? And whose name is on it?" "Caesar," they said. ¹⁷ Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his." Their mouths hung open, speechless.
