And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute-money, came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

Show me the tribute-money. And they brought to him a penny.

And when they had come, they say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king.

For, for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
