Isaïes 45: 1, 4-6

 

45:1Així diu el Senyor al meu ungit Cir, de qui tinc la mà dreta, perquè pugui sotmetre les nacions davant seu, i puc donar l'esquena als reis, i puc obrir les portes davant d'ell, i perquè no es tanquin les portes

45:4Pel bé de Jacob, el meu servent, i Israel, el meu elegit, Fins i tot t'he cridat pel teu nom. T'he agafat, i no m'has conegut.

45:5Jo sóc el Senyor, i no hi ha ningú més. No hi ha cap déu al meu costat. T'he cenyit, i no m'has conegut.

45:6També ho puguin els que són de la sortida del sol, i els que són del seu entorn, saber que no hi ha ningú al meu costat. Jo sóc el Senyor, i no n'hi ha cap altre.

Mateu 22: 15-21

 

2:15 Then the Pharisees, going out, took counsel as to how they might entrap him in speech.

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, dient: “Professor, we know that you are truthful, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and that the influence of others is nothing to you. For you do not consider the reputation of men.

22:17 Per tant, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, o no?”

22:18 Però Jesús, knowing their wickedness, dit: “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

22:19 Show me the coin of the census tax.” And they offered him a denarius.

22:20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”

22:21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Then render to Caesar what is of Caesar; and to God what is of God.”
