15. Then, having departed, the Perushim took counsel together so that they might entrap Yehoshua in his own words.
16. And they are sending to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach their talmidim with the Herodians, saying, Rabbi, we know that you are an ehrliche Yid (a good Jew) and of the Derech Hashem you give Divrei Torah in Emes, and you show no deference to flesh, for you are impartial toward Bnei Adam.
17. Therefore, tell us what to you seems right: is it mutar (permissible) to pay poll tax to Caesar or not?
18. But he, having known their rah (evil), said to them, Why do you test me, tzevuim?
19. Show me the coin of the poll tax. And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a denarius.
20. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Whose image is this and whose title?
21. They say to him, Caesar's. Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Give, therefore, unto Caesar the things of Caesar, and the things of Hashem, give unto Hashem.
22. And having heard this, they were amazed and, having left Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they went away.
