Mark 12:13-17 (Gospel)
- 13
- Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.
- 14
- When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
- 15
- Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.”
- 16
- So they brought it. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
- 17
- And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
