Matthew 22

17 So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

18 But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, "You hypocrites, why are you testing Me? 19 Show Me the coin used for the tax."

And they brought Him a denarius.*22:19 A denarius was customarily a day’s wage for a laborer; see Matthew 20:2.

20 "Whose image is this," He asked, "and whose inscription?"

21 "Caesar’s," they answered.

So Jesus told them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s."
