10.17.2020 Gospel Matthew Chapter 22

The Lord be with you.  

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

The Pharisees left and went to plot how they could catch Jesus in his speech. They sent their disciples and the Herodians to Jesus, and they said, "Teacherwe know you are a truthful man. And we know that you teach the ways of God in all truth. We know that you fear not the opinions of others because you do not give regard to people's stature. So now we ask you, is it right to pay the census tax or not?"
Jesus knew the malice that was in their heart, and so He said to them, "Why have you come out to test me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin with which we pay the census tax." So they offered him a Roman coin. And He said to them, "Now, whose image and whose inscription is found on that coin?" And they said, "Caesar’s." And Jesus said, "Well then, pay back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and pay to God what belongs to God.
