Don’t Give Too Much to Caesar – Mark 12:13-17
12 (13) Then they send some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus, so that they might trap him with his words. (14) When they came, they said to him, Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity and are not swayed by anyone; for you do not pay attention to the face of men; but rather, you teach the way of God in accordance with truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? (15) Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may look at it. (16) So they brought him a coin. Then he said to them, Whose image is this and whose superscription? They answered him, Caesar’s. (17) Then Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, and give to God the things that belong to God. And they were amazed at him.
