Gospel: Mark 12:13-17
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
14 When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?"
But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."
16 They brought it.
He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
They said to him, "Caesar's."
17 Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
They marvelled greatly at him.

Tobit 2:9-14
9 And the same night I returned from burying him, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted; and my face was uncovered:
10 and I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall; and, mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and white films came in mine eyes; and I went to the physicians, and they helped me not: but Achiacharus did nourish me, * until I went into Elymais.
11 And my wife Anna did spin in the women's chambers,
12 and did send the work back to the owners. And they on their part paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.
13 But when it came to my house, it began to cry, and I said to her, From whence is this kid? is it stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat anything that is stolen.
14 But she said, It has been given me for a gift more than the wages. And I did not believe her, and I bade her render it to the owners; and I was abashed at her. But she answered and said to me, Where are your alms and your righteous deeds? behold, † you and all your works are known.
*2:10: Some authorities read until he went.
†2:14: Gr. all things are known with you.
