18. But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?
19. Show me the coin used for the tax.” So they brought him a denarius.
20. Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”
21. They replied, “Caesar’s.” He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

26. The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh.
27. Last of all, the woman died.
