Nov 6, 2022. Gospel Matt 22:15-21. Twenty Second Sunday After Pentecost.

[15]Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. Tunc abeuntes pharisaei, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone. [16] And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. Et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis, dicentes : Magister, scimus quia verax es, et viam Dei in veritate doces, et non est tibi cura de aliquo : non enim respicis personam hominum : [17] Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Caesari, an non? [18] But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait : Quid me tentatis hypocritae? [19] Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. Ostendite mihi numisma census. At illi obtulerunt ei denarium. [20] And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? Et ait illis Jesus : Cujus est imago haec, et superscriptio? [21] They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's. Dicunt ei : Caesaris. Tunc ait illis : Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari : et quae sunt Dei, Deo.
