MARK 12:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.”
Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words — the Pharisees and Herodians alliance (first mentioned in Mark 3:6 as the conspirators planning to kill Jesus) reappears as the political trap-setters. To catch him in his words: the Greek (agreuō) is the word for trapping wild animals. The tribute question is a snare designed to destroy Jesus politically regardless of how he answers.
