Those who are most crafty in their designs against Christ and his gospel, cannot hide them. He did not give a direct answer, but reproved them for offering to impose upon him; and they could not fasten upon any thing wherewith to stir up either the governor or the people against him.

25 He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
25 "Caesar," they said. Jesus said, "Then give Caesar what is his and give God what is his."
25 And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
25 "Well then," he said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God."
