17 Therefore, tell us what to you seems right: is it mutar (permissible) to pay poll tax to Caesar or not?
18 But he, having known their rah (evil), said to them, Why do you test me, tzevuim?

16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(A) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a](B) to Caesar or not?”
