Matthew 22:17-21

17So tell us what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to the emperor or not?”

18Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19Show me a coin used to pay taxes.” They brought him a coin.

20He said to them, “Whose face and name is this?”

21They replied, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them, “Very well, give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”
