Lucas 20:23

Listen to Lucas 20:23
23 Mas él , entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?

Lucas 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.

21 Los cuales le preguntaron, diciendo: Maestro, sabemos que dices y enseñas bien, y que no tienes respeto a persona; antes enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad.
22 ¿Nos es lícito dar tributo a César, o no?
23 Mas él , entendiendo la astucia de ellos, les dijo: ¿Por qué me tentáis?
24 Mostradme un denario. ¿De quién tiene la imagen y la inscripción? Y respondiendo dijeron: De César.
25 Entonces les dijo: Pues dad a César lo que es de César; y lo que es de Dios, a Dios.
