New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Matthew 22
11 "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,
12 and he *said to him, ’Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ’Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 For many are called, but few are chosen."
15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.
16 And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.
17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"
18 But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?
19 Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He *said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"
21 They *said to Him, "Caesar’s." Then He *said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
