UMateyu 22: 15-21

 

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

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, esithi: “Mfundisi, 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 Ngoko ke, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, okanye hayi?”

22:18 Kodwa uYesu, knowing their wickedness, watsho: “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 Wathi ke uYesu kubo, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”

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