For (I)you are not swayed by appearances,[a] but truly teach (J)the way of God. Is it lawful to pay (K)taxes to (L)Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?”

Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(C)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(D) to Jesus to catch him(E) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?
