Matthew 22:17-21

17Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me?

19Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin,

20he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”

21“Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
