Marcos 12:13-17
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Pangutana bahin sa Pagbayad ug Buhis
(Mat. 22:15-22; Luc. 20:20-26)
13 Gisugo nila ang pipila ka mga Pariseo ug pipila ka tawo ni Herodes sa pagbitik kang Jesus pinaagi sa iyang gipamulong aron ikasumbong nila siya. 14 Busa miadto sila kang Jesus ug nangutana, “Magtutudlo, nasayod kami nga tinuod ang imong gipanulti. Kay wala ka magpauyon-uyon sa mga tawo bisan kinsa pa sila. Hinuon ang kamatuoran mahitungod sa kabubut-on sa Dios alang sa mga tawo mao gayod ang imong gipanudlo. Alang kanimo, husto ba nga kita nga mga Judio mobayad ug buhis sa Emperador sa Roma? Kinahanglan ba kita mobayad o dili?” 15 Apan tungod kay nasayod si Jesus sa ilang malimbongon nga tuyo, miingon siya kanila, “Ngano bang buot ninyo akong bitikon pinaagi nianang pangutanaha? Dad-i ninyo akog kuwarta kay akong tan-awon.” 16 Busa gidad-an nila siya. Ug nangutana siya kanila, “Kang kinsa ba kining hitsura ug ngalan?” Mitubag sila, “Iya sa Emperador.” 17 Ug miingon si Jesus kanila, “Kon mao kana, ihatag ninyo sa Emperador ang iya sa Emperador, ug sa Dios ang iya sa Dios.” Ug natingala gayod sila kaniya.

Mark 12:13-17
New International Version
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(A)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(B) to Jesus to catch him(C) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(D)
And they were amazed at him.
