Paying Taxes To Caesar

¹⁴ When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? ¹⁵ Should we pay, or should we not pay?”

But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.” ¹⁶ So they brought one. “Whose image and inscription is this?” He asked them.

“Caesar’s,” they said.
