Religious leaders question Jesus about paying taxesMat_22:15-22 Mar 12:13-17 Luke 20:20-26 Matthew 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.Mark 12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.Luke 20:20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.Mark 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?Luke 20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?Mark 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Luke 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?Matthew 22:19 Shew me the tribute money.bring me a penny, that I may see [it].Luke 20:24 Shew me a penny.And they brought unto him a penny.Mark 12:16 And they brought [it]. Matthew 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? Whose image and superscription hath it?Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's.And they said unto him, Caesar's.They answered and said, Caesar's.Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. Luke 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.Matthew 22:22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.And they marvelled at him.Luke 20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
