Marcos 12:14

Listen to Marcos 12:14
14 Aproximando-se, pois, disseram-lhe: Mestre, sabemos que és verdadeiro, e de ninguém se te dá; porque não olhas � aparência dos homens, mas ensinas segundo a verdade o caminho de Deus; é lícito dar tributo a César, ou não? Daremos, ou não daremos?

Marcos 12:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:14

And when they were come
Unto Jesus in the temple:

they said unto him, master;
they saluted him in like manner, as they did their doctors and Rabbins, calling him "Rabbi", though they were not his disciples; but one part of them were the disciples of the Pharisees, and the other had Herod for their master;

we know that thou art true;
an honest, sincere, and upright man,

and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men;
no, not Caesar himself;

but teachest the way of God in truth;
instructest men in the word, will, and worship of God, with all integrity and faithfulness; answer therefore this question,

is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
The Syriac and Persic versions read, "head money"; and so it is read in Beza's most ancient copy; a tax that was levied on the heads of families; or on every particular head in a family; (See Gill on Matthew 22:16), (See Gill on Matthew 22:17).

Marcos 12:14 In-Context

12 Procuravam então prendê-lo, mas temeram a multidão, pois perceberam que contra eles proferira essa parábola; e, deixando-o, se retiraram.
13 Enviaram-lhe então alguns dos fariseus e dos herodianos, para que o apanhassem em alguma palavra.
14 Aproximando-se, pois, disseram-lhe: Mestre, sabemos que és verdadeiro, e de ninguém se te dá; porque não olhas � aparência dos homens, mas ensinas segundo a verdade o caminho de Deus; é lícito dar tributo a César, ou não? Daremos, ou não daremos?
15 Mas Jesus, percebendo a hipocrisia deles, respondeu-lhes: Por que me experimentais? trazei-me um denário para que eu o veja.
16 E eles lho trouxeram. Perguntou-lhes Jesus: De quem é esta imagem e inscrição? Responderam-lhe: De César.
