Luke Chapter 20 Verse 22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

‹And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast› [him] ‹out›.

‹Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence› [him] ‹when they see him.›

‹But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.›

‹So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed› [him]. ‹What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?›

‹He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.› And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid.

And he beheld them, and said, ‹What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?›

‹Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.›

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, ‹Why tempt ye me?›

‹Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it?› They answered and said, Caesar's.

And he said unto them, ‹Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.›

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

Last of all the woman died also.
