Luke 20:19-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
19
The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and
yet
they feared the people; for they were aware that He had spoken this parable against them.
20
And
so
they watched Him closely, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in
some
statement, so that they
could
hand Him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.
21
And
the spies
questioned Him, saying, 'Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth.
22
Is it permissible for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?'
23
But He saw through their trickery and said to them,
24
Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?' They said, 'Caesar’s.'
25
And He said to them, 'Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.'
King James Version
Chapter 20
19
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
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.
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:
22
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it They answered and said, Caesar's.
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.

Chapter 20
19
Then the scribes and the chief priests looked for a way to get their hands on him that very hour, because they knew he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.
20
They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so that they could catch him in what he said, to hand him over to the governor’s rule and authority.
21
They questioned him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and you don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God.
22
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23
But detecting their craftiness, he said to them,
24
"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" "Caesar’s," they said.
25
"Well then," he told them, "give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s."
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
19
The teachers of religious law and the leading priests wanted to arrest Jesus immediately because they realized he was telling the story against them — they were the wicked farmers. But they were afraid of the people’s reaction.
20
Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus.
21
Teacher,' they said, 'we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully.
22
Now tell us — is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?'
23
He saw through their trickery and said,
24
Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?' 'Caesar’s,' they replied.
25
Well then,' he said, 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.'

20
So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21
So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
22
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
23
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
24
"Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar 's."
25
He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's, and to God the things that are God 's."
New International Version
Chapter 20
19
The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
20
Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.
21
So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22
Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23
He saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24
"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25
He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s."
New King James Version
Chapter 20
19
And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people —for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.
20
So they watched
Him,
and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.
21
Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:
22
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23
But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test Me?
24
Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
25
And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
