16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the ^aHerodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not¹ regard the person of men.  ‡

17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, ^a“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are ^bCaesar’s, and to God the things that are ^cGod’s.”  ‡

22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
