Mark 12:15 in Context — Mark 12

13 Ils envoyèrent auprès de Jésus quelques-uns des pharisiens et des hérodiens, afin de le surprendre par ses propres paroles.

14 Et ils vinrent lui dire: Maître, nous savons que tu es vrai, et que tu ne t’inquiètes de personne; car tu ne regardes pas à l’apparence des hommes, et tu enseignes la voie de Dieu selon la vérité. Est-il permis, ou non, de payer le tribut à César? Devons-nous payer, ou ne pas payer?

15 Jésus, connaissant leur hypocrisie, leur répondit: Pourquoi me tentez-vous? Apportez-moi un denier, afin que je le voie.

16 Ils en apportèrent un; et Jésus leur demanda: De qui sont cette effigie et cette inscription? De César, lui répondirent-ils.

17 Alors il leur dit: Rendez à César ce qui est à César, et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu. Et ils furent à son égard dans l’étonnement.
