American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the {Or, ruling power}rule and to the authority of the governor.
And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God:
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
Show me a {See marginal note on chapter 7:41.}denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar's.
And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and unto God the things that are God's.
And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.
And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies wherewith thou didst testify against them.
Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
