The question about paying taxes to Caesar
가이사에게 세를 바치는 것에 관한 물음
Mark 12:13–17: they send some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words. They say that they know he is honest and not partial to anyone, and that he truly teaches the way of God, and ask whether it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not: shall they give, or shall they not give? Knowing their hypocrisy, he asks why they test him and tells them to bring him a denarius; asked whose image and inscription it bears, they say, “Caesar’s.” Jesus answers, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s,” and they marvel greatly at him.

13They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
14When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
16They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
17Jesus answered them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
