Mark 12:14

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹³ And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees with Herod's servants, to take him in his words. ¹⁴ And as soon as they were come, they said unto him, "Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁵ Ought we to give, or ought we not to give?" He understood their dissimulation, and said unto them, "Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it."
