Mark 12:15

Context
12:15 But he saw through their hypocrisy and said 1  to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius 2  and let me look at it.”

1 tn Grk “Aware of their hypocrisy he said.”

2 tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.

sn A denarius was a silver coin stamped with the image of the emperor and worth approximately one day’s wage for a laborer.
