The question about paying tax

20:19 The question about paying tax

(Mark 12:13-17, Mat. 22:15-22)

19Then because the religious teachers and the chief priests knew that Yeshua had used that parable to speak about them, they tried at the time to capture him, but couldn’t because they were afraid of the number of people around. 20So after watching Yeshua closely, they sent agents who pretended to be genuine inquirers so that they could catch him out on some careless statement and then they could hand him over to the rule and authority of the Roman governor. 21They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say what is right, and that you teach the truth about God’s way without being influenced by people. 22So tell us, should we pay tax to the Roman emperor or not?”

23But having observed their craftiness, he said to them, 24Show me a coin. Whose image and inscription is on it?

“The emperor’s,” they replied. 25So then,” Yeshua continued, “Give the emperor what belongs to him, and what belongs to God, give to God.

26So they weren’t able to catch him out by making a treasonable statement in front of the people—in fact they were stunned by his answer and didn’t ask anything else.
