So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
Mark 12:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 12.
12 At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.
13 Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
14 “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”
15 But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
16 So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
17 Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
