Luke 20:23 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Luke 20:23

21 Then they asked Him, saying, ^a“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,¹ “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, ^a“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
