Matthew 22:15 - 22:22
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the dialogue between Jesus and his critics in chapters 21 and 22 of Matthew, where they attempt to trap him in a dilemma over paying tribute to Rome. They ask if Jesus is denouncing God as king by paying tribute to Caesar, to which he responds with the famous phrase "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Gregg explains that while it is not wrong to pay taxes, Jesus did not initiate the discussion on the morality of paying taxes, but rather emphasized the importance of recognizing oneself as bearing the image of God.
