Matthew 22:14-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15. Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him in His words.

16. And they sent to Him their taught ones with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of Elohim in truth, and it does not concern You about anyone, for You are not partial to any man.

17. “Then say to us, what do You think? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18. But knowing their wickedness, יהושע said, “Why do you try Me, you hypocrites?

19. “Show Me the coin of the tax.” And they brought Him a silver piece.

20. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”

21. They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to Elohim what is Elohim’s.”

22. And having heard, they marvelled, and left Him and went away.
