Matthew 22:17-21

AUV(i) 17 So, tell us what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus perceived their wicked intention and said, “Why are you putting me to a test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for paying taxes.” And they brought to Him a coin [Note: This coin was equivalent to one day of a farm laborer’s pay, or about $60-$84 in 1994]. 20 He said to them, “Whose image and inscription are on this coin?” 21 They answered Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He replied, “Pay to Caesar whatever belongs to Caesar and pay to God whatever belongs to God.”
