Luke 20:19-20

Paying Taxes to Caesar

19 ^aThe scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 ^bSo they ^cwatched him and sent spies, who ^dpretended to be sincere, that they might ^ecatch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of ^fthe governor.
