I commanded, and search hath been made,

why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

to confusion of face,
as [it is] this day.

What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto

are Caesar's;
and unto God the things that are God's.

Master,
we know that thou art true, and
carest for no man:
for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ... And Jesus answering said unto them,
Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
and to God the things that are God's.
And they marvelled at him.
