Mark 12:13-15

131ThenG2532 they sentG649 someG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 and 2HerodiansG2265 to Him inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 3trapG64 Him in a statementG3056.

14They cameG2064 and saidG3004 to Him, “TeacherG1320, we knowG3609 that You are truthfulG227 and 4do not careG3199 what anyoneG3762 thinks; for You 5are not partialG991G4383 to anyoneG444, but You teachG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 in truthG225. Is it 6permissibleG1832 to payG1325 a 7poll-taxG2778 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 not?

15Are we to payG1325, orG2228 not payG1325?” But He, knowingG3609 their hypocrisyG5272, saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you testingG3985 Me? BringG5342 Me a 8denariusG1220 to lookG3708 at.”
