Matthew 22:17

Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹⁶ And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men. ¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
