Matthew 22:17-21 Is it Against our Law to Pay Taxes to the Roman Emperor, or Not?" GNT


Question in the Bible

Matthew 22:17 Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it against our Law to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor, or not?"

Answer from the Bible

Matthew 22:18-21 Jesus, however, was aware of their evil plan, and so he said, "You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me?

Show me the coin for paying the tax!" They brought him the coin,

and he asked them, "Whose face and name are these?"

"The Emperor's," they answered, So Jesus said to them, "Well then, pay to the Emperor what belong to the Emperor, and pay to God what belongs to God."
