What does Mark 12:14 mean?

They said, 'Teacher, we know you're honest. You don't play favorites or care what people think. You teach God's way truthfully. So, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not?' Mark 12:14 - Modern Text Bible

(They flatter Jesus, then ask a loaded question about paying taxes to the Roman emperor, hoping to get him in trouble.)
