Mark 12:14 On arrival, they proceeded to say to Him, "O teacher, we have seen and thus now know that you are constantly genuine (habitually exist being real and true perhaps here: = truthful) and that it is not a care or concern for you about anyone, for you are not continually looking into the face of humans (may here = not looking at men's outward appearance or being unduly influenced by man-made prestige; or: not showing consideration for people; or: not concerned for what response you get from mankind), but to the contrary, your eyes are upon truth. You habitually teach God's way (the path whose source is God = the path of life which He directs; the road of God = the road He takes). Tell us, is it lawfully allowed (permissible in the Torah) and ethically right to give the poll tax to Caesar, or not?
