This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar 12:14-17. Tribute to Caesar.
And when they were come, they say unto him, Master - Teacher.
we know that thou art true, and carest for no man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth - By such flattery - though they said only the truth - they hoped to throw Him off His guard.
Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? - It was the civil poll tax paid by all enrolled in the “census.” See on Mat 17:25.
