Mark 12:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man. You are not afraid of what other people think about you. All men are the same to you. And you teach the truth about God’s way. Tell us: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay them, or not?”

¹⁵ But Jesus knew what these men were really trying to do. He said, “Why are you trying to trap me? Bring me a silver coin. Let me see it.” ¹⁶ They gave Jesus a coin, and he asked, “Whose picture is on the coin? And whose name is written on it?”

They answered, “Caesar’s.”
