God and Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him by what He said.(a)(A)
16 They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians.(B) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.(b)(C)
17 Tell us, therefore, what You think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar(D) or not?”
