Matthew 22:15

Question about taxes

15 Then the Pharisees met together to find a way to trap Jesus in his words.

Matthew 22:15 In-Context

13 Then the king said to his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet and throw him out into the farthest darkness. People there will be weeping and grinding their teeth.'
14 "Many people are invited, but few people are chosen."
15 Then the Pharisees met together to find a way to trap Jesus in his words.
16 They sent their disciples, along with the supporters of Herod, to him. "Teacher," they said, "we know that you are genuine and that you teach God's way as it really is. We know that you are not swayed by people's opinions, because you don't show favoritism.
17 So tell us what you think: Does the Law allow people to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
