Wisdom to get u out of a trap

Jesus displayed his wisdom by able to read the mind of his accusers and spies; refer to Luke 20:20-26.

Luke 20:20-25
[20]So they looked for an opportunity. They bribed some men to pretend they were sincere, and they sent them to trap Jesus with questions, so that they could hand him over to the authority and power of the Roman Governor.
[21]These spies said to Jesus, “Teacher, we know that what you say and teach is right. We know that you pay no attention to anyone’s status, but teach the truth about God’s will for people.
[22]Tell us, is it against our Law for us to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor, or not?”
[23]But Jesus saw through their trick and said to them,
[24]“Show me a silver coin. Whose face and name are these on it?”“The Emperor’s,” they answered.
[25]So Jesus said, “Well, then, pay the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay God what belongs to God.”
