New American Standard Bible

Chapter 20

20And so they watched Him closely, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could hand Him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. 21And the spies questioned Him, saying, 'Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth. 22Is it permissible for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?' 23But He saw through their trickery and said to them, 24Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?' They said, 'Caesar’s.' 25And He said to them, 'Then pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.' 26And they were unable to catch Him in a statement in the presence of the people; and they were amazed at His answer, and said nothing.
27Now some of the Sadducees (who maintain that there is no resurrection) came to Him, 28and they questioned Him, saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife, and he is childless, that his brother is to marry the wife and raise up children for his brother.
King James Version

Chapter 20

20And 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. 21And 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: 22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it They answered and said, Caesar's. 25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 26And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 28Saying, 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.

Chapter 20

20They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so that they could catch him in what he said, to hand him over to the governor’s rule and authority. 21They questioned him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and you don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God. 22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23But detecting their craftiness, he said to them,
24"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" "Caesar’s," they said.
25"Well then," he told them, "give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s."
26They were not able to catch him in what he said in public, and being amazed at his answer, they became silent.
27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him: 28"Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.
New Living Translation

Chapter 20

20Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus. 21Teacher,' they said, 'we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully. 22Now tell us — is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?'
23He saw through their trickery and said,
24Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?' 'Caesar’s,' they replied.
25Well then,' he said, 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.'
26So they failed to trap him by what he said in front of the people. Instead, they were amazed by his answer, and they became silent.
27Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees — religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. 28They posed this question: 'Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.

Chapter 20

20So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor. 21So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. 22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" 23But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, 24"Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar 's." 25He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar 's, and to God the things that are God 's." 26And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man 's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
New International Version

Chapter 20

20Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. 21So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 22Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23He saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s."
26They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.
27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

20So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.
21Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth: 22Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test Me?
24Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
25And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.
27Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 28saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
