Matthew 22:17-21

17So tell us your answer to this question: Should we pay our taxes to the Roman ruler, Caesar? Is it right to give that money to him, or not?’

18Jesus knew that these men wanted to do bad things to him. So he said to them, ‘You are asking that question to cause trouble for me. You are not being honest!

19Now, show me the coin that you use for the tax.’ So they brought a coin to him.

20Then Jesus asked them, ‘Whose picture is on this coin? Whose name is on it?’

21They replied, ‘It is Caesar's picture and Caesar's name.’ Jesus said to them, ‘So you should give to Caesar the things that belong to Caesar. And give to God the things that belong to God.’
