C. Conflict with Pharisees and Herodians.................. 22:15-22
Mat 22:15
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.Mat 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.Mat 22:17
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?Mat 22:18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?Mat 22:19
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.Mat 22:20
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?Mat 22:21
They say unto him, 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.Mat 22:22
When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
