And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not {show partiality}, but teach the way of God in truth.

Now some of the Sadducees--who deny {that there is a resurrection}--came up [and] asked him,

Is it permitted [for] us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

And they were not able to catch [him] in a statement in the sight of the people, and astonished at his answer, they became silent.

But seeing through their craftiness, he said to them,

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"

and said, saying to him, "Tell us, by what authority you are doing these [things], or who is the one who gave you this authority?
