Gospel of Mark - RENDER

Mark 12:13-17 describes Jesus's famous answer to a trap question about paying taxes to Caesar, teaching that believers should honor earthly government ("render to Caesar what is Caesar's") while prioritizing God ("and to God what is God's"), affirming both civic duty and ultimate spiritual allegiance to the divine. This passage highlights the balance between obeying human laws and fulfilling our higher calling to God, whose image we bear.
