Mark 12:15 Context
13¶ And they send vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 14And when they were come, they say vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not? 15Shall we giue, or shall we not giue? But he knowing their hypocrisie, said vnto them, Why tempt yee mee? Bring me a penny that I may see it. 16And they brought it: and he saith vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said vnto him, Cesars. 17And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesars: and to God the things that are Gods. And they maruailed at him.
