Mark 12:13-15

Modern English Version

The Question of Paying Taxes^(A)

¹³ They sent to Him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians to trap Him in His words. ¹⁴ When they came to Him, they said, “Teacher, we know that You are true and swayed by no man. For You do not regard the person of men, but truthfully teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? ¹⁵ Should we pay, or should we not pay?”

But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.”
