They said, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and that you teach the way of God truthfully. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance. So tell us what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living." When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
