Matthew 22:17

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹⁶ And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, - for thou lookest not unto the face of men: ¹⁷ Tell us then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus, taking note of their wickedness, said - Why are ye tempting me, hypocrites?
