"Teacher," they said, "we know know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what other think. You teach the way of God truthfully. Now tell us---is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

He saw through the trickery and said, "Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?" "Caesar's," they replied.

"Well then," he said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God."

-Luke 20:21
