God's Word Translation

Matthew 22:17-21 God's Word Translation (GW)

17. So tell us what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to the emperor or not?”

18. Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19. Show me a coin used to pay taxes.”They brought him a coin.

20. He said to them, “Whose face and name is this?”

21. They replied, “The emperor’s.”Then he said to them, “Very well, give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”
