The Questions-Trap

Matthew 22:15-17

Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. 'Teacher,' they said, 'we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the poll-tax to Caesar or not?' (NIVUK)

Jesus had integrity (John 19:4), but His enemies tried to snare Him by getting Him to say things that would incriminate Himself. Ultimately, their plans were not so subtle - they expressed their hatred in a night-time arrest, followed by an unfair trial without true evidence being presented leading to a corrupt sentence, physical violence and death. They hated Jesus so much that they wanted Him dead.
