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 Y procuraban prenderle, pero temían a la multitud, porque comprendieron que contra ellos había dicho la parábola. Y dejándole, se fueron.
13 Y le enviaron<***> algunos de los fariseos y de los herodianos para sorprenderle en alguna palabra.
14 Y cuando ellos llegaron<***>, le dijeron<***>: Maestro, sabemos que eres veraz y que no buscas el favor de nadie, porque eres imparcial, y enseñas el camino de Dios con verdad. ¿Es lícito pagar impuesto al César, o no?
15 ¿Pagaremos o no pagaremos? Pero El, dándose cuenta de su hipocresía, les dijo: ¿Por qué me estáis poniendo a prueba? Traedme un denario para verlo.
16 Se lo trajeron, y El les dijo<***>: ¿De quién es esta imagen y la inscripción? Y ellos le dijeron: Del César.
