So some chief priests send some people to try to trap Jesus in a theological quagmire. They come to Jesus and say, "Hey Rabbi, you are one of integrity and hold to your convictions because power is outside your mode of operation. In fact, you turn it upside down. And, in fact, you teach the Law and the way of God in truth. So, our question is should we pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
Jesus responds, knowing they are acting and says, "really? Okay, bring me a day's wage and let me see what it looks like."
They bring him a coin.
He asks them, "who is this on the coin? And to whom are these inscriptions ascribed to?"
The hired hands respond, "Caesar's."
Jesus says, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
Isn't it odd that Jesus doesn't even know what the coin looked like?
Grace and Peace
