The Bible’s Viewpoint
Must All Taxes Be Paid?
Although taxes existed in the ancient world, they did not play as major a role in the support of government and control of the economy as they do today. Nevertheless, people chafed under their presence. The Jews in Jesus’ day apparently resented the head tax imposed by imperial Rome, and yet Jesus explained that they should pay to the government what it had a right to collect, in this case taxes.—Luke 20:19-25.
