Mark 12:13-17

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.” 16And they broughtG5342 one. And He saidG3004 to them, “WhoseG5101 imageG1504 and inscriptionG1923 is thisG3778?” And they saidG3004 to Him, “Caesar’sG2541.” 17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “9PayG591 to CaesarG2541 the things that are Caesar’sG2541, and to GodG2316 the things that are God’sG2316.” And they were utterlyG1569 amazedG1569 at Him.
