Greek Modern Translation

Μᾶρκον 12:14

Και εκεινοι ελθοντες, λεγουσι προς αυτον· Διδασκαλε, εξευρομεν οτι εισαι αληθης και δεν σε μελει περι ουδενος· διοτι δεν βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων, αλλ' επ' αληθειας την οδον του Θεου διδασκεις. Ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να δωσωμεν δασμον εις τον Καισαρα, η ουχι; να δωσωμεν η να μη δωσωμεν;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they were come,.... Unto Jesus in the temple:

they said unto him, master; they saluted him in like manner, as they did their doctors and Rabbins, calling him "Rabbi", though they were not his disciples; but one part of them were the disciples of the Pharisees, and the other had Herod for their master;

we know that thou art true; an honest, sincere, and upright man,

and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men; no, not Caesar himself;

but teachest the way of God in truth; instructest men in the word, will, and worship of God, with all integrity and faithfulness; answer therefore this question,

is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? The Syriac and Persic versions read, "head money"; and so it is read in Beza's most ancient copy; a tax that was levied on the heads of families; or on every particular head in a family; :-,
