For paying taxes, Matthew 17:24-27, and for submitting to earthly authority and not being an anarchist, Luke 22:49 onwards. He gets arrested, one of his followers tries to fight back and cuts off a soldiers ear, which Jesus rebuked him for and immediately heals, and then even directly asks the soldiers "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?".

In Matthew 26:

He submitted to everything that happened thereafter, eventually leading to his death on a cross. In yielding to earthly authority here, he was yielded to God.
