They came, not honestly, not with good motive, but to set a trap for this Nazarene peasant.
"Ah, tell us," they said, "O wise and integritous Jesus," (beware the flatterers) "is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"
Eh, this Nazarene peasant knew their duplicity. "Bring me a coin," he said. "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" They answered, "Caesar's."
Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
