Mark 12:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 And when they[a] came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and you do not care what anyone thinks,[b] because you do not regard the opinion of people[c] but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” 15 But because he[d] knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”[e] 16 So they brought one.[f] And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
