Mark 12:15

15 He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it."

Mark 12:15 In-Context

13 They sent some Pharisees and followers of Herod to bait him, hoping to catch him saying something incriminating.
14 They came up and said, "Teacher, we know you have integrity, that you are indifferent to public opinion, don't pander to your students, and teach the way of God accurately. Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
15 He knew it was a trick question, and said, "Why are you playing these games with me? Bring me a coin and let me look at it."
16 They handed him one. "This engraving - who does it look like? And whose name is on it?" "Caesar," they said.
17 Jesus said, "Give Caesar what is his, and give God what is his." Their mouths hung open, speechless.
