As Jesus spoke, the Pharisees came up to question him; they thought to criminate him by what he said.
2 A strict Herodian spoke and said, My Lord, you are a man of truth; you show the way to God, and you do not regard the personality of men;
3 Tell us, what do you think; should we, who are the seed of Abraham, pay tribute unto Cæsar? or should we not?
4 And Jesus knew his wickedness of heart and said, Why do you come to tempt me thus? Show me the tribute money that you speak about.
5 The man brought forth a piece of coin on which an image was engraved.
6 And Jesus said, Whose image and whose name is on this coin?
7 The man replied, ’Tis Cæsar’s image and his name.
8 And Jesus said, Give unto Cæsar that which is Cæsar’s own; but give to God the things of God.
9 And they who heard him said, He answers well.
10 And then a Sadducee, who thinks there is no resurrection of the dead, came up and said, Rabboni, Moses wrote that if a married man shall die, and have no child, his widow shall become his brother’s wife.
