Mark 12:14

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹³ And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch him in his words. ¹⁴ They *came and *said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? ¹⁵ Shall we give or shall we not give? Then he, understanding their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me the coin that I may see it.
