Luke 20:24 (King James Version)
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

a penny See: Matthew 18:28 ; 20:2
image: This was the head of the emperor; the superscription his titles. Julius Csar was the first who caused his image to be struck on the Roman coin; and Tiberius was emperor at this time. This therefore was a denarius of Csar, [dinarah kesar-anah,] as it is termed in the Talmud; and consequently this was respecting the tribute required by the Roman government.
Cesar's: 22 ; 2:1 3:1 23:2 Acts 11:28 ; 25:8-12 26:32 Philippians 4:22
