Matthew 22:17-21

17 "Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a ¹poll-tax to ²Caesar, or not?"

18 But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

19 "Show Me the ³coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.

20 And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

21 They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, "⁴Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."
