In the Bible story we will hear today, the religious
leaders asked Jesus questions to get Jesus to say
something wrong. They could have asked any
question, but we’ll see how they used their questions
to try to trick Jesus. We’ll find out how Jesus
answered their questions with wisdom and power.
After watching this video, talk to your family about this question:
"How can you show love to people who reject Jesus?"

1. Why did the religious leaders ask Jesus questions? Were they really interested in what Jesus was teaching?
Lead kids to recall that the religious leaders were only questioning Jesus to try to catch Him doing something wrong. Jesus knew what they were trying to do and answered them with wisdom and authority. (Option: Read Luke 20:22-26.)
2. How can we see Jesus’ wisdom and authority in the way He answered the religious leaders?
Help kids recognize the religious leaders thought they had come up a question that would trap Jesus when they chose to ask Him about taxes. They thought either way He answered, the Jews or the Romans would have a problem with it; however, Jesus saw beyond their craftiness and answered with wisdom and power. (Option: Read Luke 20:25.)
3. How can we answer life’s questions with wisdom?
Help kids recognize that we can find the answers to life’s questions as we spend time with the Lord through prayer and reading His Word. When we hide God’s Word in our heart, we too can answer with wisdom. (Option: Read Ps. 119:105.)
