When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at His doctrine,

for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such works of power are performed by His hands?

And Jesus answered and said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at Him.

And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

And all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words going forth out of His mouth. And they said, Is this not Joseph's son?

Then some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, You have well said.

And after that they dared not question Him anymore.

The officers answered, No man ever spoke like this Man.
