Paying Taxes to Caesar
(Matthew 22:15–22, Mark 12:13–17)
19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor. 21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show Me a denarius.[fn] Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
20:24 A denarius was customarily a day’s wage for a laborer; see Matthew 20:2.
