Jesus answers the question about tribute to Caesar
Pharisees and Herodians tried to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes. Pointing to Caesar's image on the coin, He told them to give Caesar what belongs to Caesar and God what belongs to God (Matthew 22:15-22).

📖 Matthew 22:15–17
15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words. 16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance. 17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
