Mateus 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 22:19

Shew me the tribute money
Not any money, or any sort of coin that was current among them; but that in which the tribute was usually paid, which was Roman money: and they brought unto him a penny; not as, being what was the usual sum that was paid for tribute at one time, but as a sample of what sort of money it was paid in, in Roman pence; one of which was seven pence halfpenny of our money.

Mateus 22:19 In-Context

17 Dize-nos, pois, que te parece? É lícito pagar tributo a César, ou não?
18 Jesus, porém, percebendo a sua malícia, respondeu: Por que me experimentais, hipócritas?
19 Mostrai-me a moeda do tributo. E eles lhe apresentaram um denário.
20 Perguntou-lhes ele: De quem é esta imagem e inscrição?
21 Responderam: De César. Então lhes disse: Dai, pois, a César o que é de César, e a Deus o que é de Deus.
