MATTHEW 22:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.”
Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? The tax question is a perfect trap: if Jesus says yes, he endorses collaboration with the Roman occupation and loses the Jewish nationalists; if he says no, he can be reported to the Romans as a rebel. The either/or allows no safe answer — or so the questioners believe.
