New Testament
Luke 20:20-26
Paying Taxes to Caesar
20They watched him carefully and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, so that they could trap Jesus in something he said, and then deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. 21They questioned him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right and show no partiality to anyone, but you teach the way of God on the basis of the truth. 22Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23But he was aware of their deceit and said to them, 24“Show me a denarius.[] Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar's,” they answered.
25He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
26They were not able to trap him in what he said in the presence of the people. They were amazed at his answer and became silent.
