MATTHEW 22:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?”
Show me the coin for the tax. And they brought him a denarius. The request for the tax coin — the denarius — is itself a revelation: the questioners have the Roman coin, which bears Caesar's image and inscription. The presence of the coin in their possession already communicates their use of the Roman currency system.
