Mark 12:17

First Nations Version

“Then give this ruler the things that are his,” he told them, “but give to the Great Spirit the things that belong to the Great Spirit.” The spiritual leaders were amazed at his words. They could not believe it. They had failed right in front of all the people and could not use his words against him, so they walked away in silence.
