Noun kēnsos (tax) in the Gospels-Acts
(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)
Matthew
| 17: 25 | He said, "Yes, he does." And when he came home, Jesus spoke of it first, asking, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax (kēnsos)? From their children or from others?" |
| 22: 17 | Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes (kēnsos) to the emperor, or not?" |
| 22: 19 | Show me the coin used for the tax (kēnsos)." And they brought him a denarius. |
Mark
| 12: 14 | And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes (kēnsos) to the emperor, or not? |
