St. Paul the Apostle

When Jesus hold the Roman coin, his question to the Pharisees was very revealing: “Whose image is this?” They answered, “Caesar’s.” With that answer came Jesus’ morally acceptable and noble instructions to the Pharisees, he said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.” This reply avoided a confrontation with the Pharisees, but rendered a teaching moment for the inquisitive mind and unbelieving heart.
