were thinking that they had Him in their power
at last.
Jesus saw their slyness at once, and exposed
them saying, "Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrates?
Bring me the tribute money." It took only a
moment to get a shekel from the money-changer.
While this was happening
a crowd gathered to
see what answer Jesus
was going to give them.
