Context
15Ndipo Mafarisayo wakatoka nje wakaandaa mpango wa kumtega Yesu katika maneno yake. 16Wakatuma wanafunzi wao kwake pamoja na Maherode. Nao wakasema, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba wewe ni mtu mwadilifu na unafundisha njia ya Mungu katika kweli bila kuyumbishwa na mtu wala kuonyesha upendeleo. 17Tuambie basi, wewe unaonaje? Je, ni halali kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari, au la?” 18Lakini Yesu, akijua makusudi yao mabaya, akawaambia, “Enyi wanafiki, kwa nini mnajaribu kunitega? 19Nionyesheni hiyo sarafu inayotumika kwa kulipia kodi.” Wakamletea dinari.
