Mark 12:14

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹³ And they sent certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, to catch Him in His words. ¹⁴ And coming, they said to Him, Teacher, we know that you are true and you care about no one. For you do not look to the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁵ Shall we give, or shall we not give? But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, Why do you tempt Me? Bring me a denarius so that I may see.
