Luca 20:23

Listen to Luca 20:23
23 Ed egli, avvedutosi della loro astuzia, disse loro: Perchè mi tentate?

Luca 20:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:23

But he perceived their craftiness
Knowing what was in them, and being a discerner of the thoughts and intents of their hearts, he clearly saw that their view was either, that they might have a charge against him to the Roman governor, should he declare against payment of tribute; or that they might expose him to the people of the Jews, should he assert the lawfulness of it:

and said unto them, why tempt ye me?
with this ensnaring question.

Luca 20:23 In-Context

21 E quelli gli fecero una domanda, dicendo: Maestro, noi sappiamo che tu parli ed insegni dirittamente, e che non hai riguardo alla qualità delle persone, ma insegni la via di Dio in verità;
22 ecci egli lecito di pagare il tributo a Cesare, o no?
23 Ed egli, avvedutosi della loro astuzia, disse loro: Perchè mi tentate?
24 Mostratemi un denaro; di cui porta egli la figura, e la soprascritta? Ed essi, rispondendo, dissero: Di Cesare.
25 Ed egli disse loro: Rendete adunque a Cesare le cose di Cesare, e a Dio le cose di Dio.
