Mark 12:14

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹³ Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick. ¹⁴ And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not? ¹⁵ Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.
