3 And the chief priests accused him of many things.

Luke 20:19-26

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. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and ^gshow no partiality, ^{▼▼Greek and do not receive a face} but truly teach ⁱthe way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to give ^jtribute to ^kCaesar, or not?” 23 But he perceived their ^lcraftiness, and said to them, 24 “Show me ^ma denarius. ^{▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer} Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.” 25 He said to them, “Then ^orender to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people ^pto catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.

Luke 23:2-5

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man ^qmisleading our nation and ^rforbidding us to give tribute to ^sCaesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, ^ta king.” 3 ^uAnd Pilate asked him, ^v“Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, ^w“You have said so.” 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, ^x“I find no guilt in this man.” 5 But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, ^yfrom Galilee even to this place.”

John 19:12

12 From then on ^zPilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. ^aaEveryone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”
