Luke 20:25

Authority and leadershipMoney and wealthObedience

23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
