Pharisees testing Jesus about paying taxes to Rome

The Pharisaic distortion: Following rules to appear righteous rather than honouring God.

Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius. He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
And he saith unto them,
Whose
is this image and superscription?
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
