If this city

And there were those who were saying, "We have borrowed money on our fields and our vineyards for the tax of the king.

Your tongue plans destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceit.

[The] arrogant smear me with lies; I keep your precepts with [my] whole heart.

Toll

You also should be aware that it is not permitted to place tax, tribute, or duty upon all of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the temple servants, and other servants of the house of God.

And [as] Jesus was going away from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth and said to him, "Follow me!" And he stood up [and] followed him.

He said, "Yes." And [when he] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes--from their own sons, or from foreigners?"

For because of this you also pay taxes, for [the authorities] are servants of God, busily engaged in this very [thing].
