Mark 12:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Jesus recognized their hypocrisy, so he asked them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a coin so that I can look at it.”

¹⁶ They brought a coin. He said to them, “Whose face and name is this?”

They told him, “The emperor’s.”

¹⁷ Jesus said to them, “Give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, and give God what belongs to God.”

They were surprised at his reply.
