Matthew 22:15-22

The question about taxes Matthew 22:15-22 : The Pharisees that asked if it was lawful to pay tax to Caesar stood speechless before the King. They desired to entangle Jesus in His talk. (Matthew 22:15) Their question was, "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" (Matthew 22:17) Jesus answered "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Matthew 22:21) He taught plainly that Christians have both a duty to God and to government. The Pharisees "marveled and left Him." (Matthew 22:22)
