“And when all Israel heard the judgement which the King
had pronounced, they feared the King: for they saw that
the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgement.”
1 Kings 3:28
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. ‘Why are you trying to trap me?’ he asked. ‘Bring me a denarius, and let me look at it.’ They brought the coin, and he asked them, ‘Whose image is this? And whose inscription?’ ‘Caesar’s,’ they replied. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.’ And they were amazed at him.”
Mark 12:13-17
