Mateo 22:19

19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario

Mateo 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.

Mateo 22:19 In-Context

17 Dinos pues, qué te parece: ¿Es lícito dar tributo a César, o no

18 Mas Jesús, entendida su malicia, les dice: ¿Por qué me tentáis, hipócritas

19 Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario

20 Entonces les dice: ¿De quién es esta imagen, y lo que está encima escrito

21 Ellos le dicen: De César. Y les dijo: Pagad pues a César lo que es de César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios
