Children's Sabbath and the 21st Sunday after Pentecost
Matthew 22:15-22, read by children of Broadway:
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk. And they sent their disciple to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no person; for you do not regard the position of a person. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Ceaser, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to test, you hypocrites? Show me the money for the tax.” They brought him a coin, and Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” “Ceasar’s.” “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away.
