Paying Taxes to Caesar
16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
