16And they sent out vnto him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, wee know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in trueth, neither carest thou for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men. 17Tell vs therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not? 18But Iesus perceiued their wickednesse, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought vnto him a peny. 20And he sayth vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
