Mark 12:13-17 (World English Bible)

¹³ They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might catch him in words.

¹⁴ When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

¹⁵ Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."

¹⁶ They brought it. He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" They said to him, "Caesar's."

¹⁷ Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.
