Mark 12: 13 - 17
|
13 | And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Hero'di-ans, to entrap him in his talk. |
14 | And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? |
15 | Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it." |
16 | And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." |
17 | Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at him. |
