Bible verse
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
Matthew 22:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 22.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13 Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16 They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
17 So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19 Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
