Marco 12:14

Listen to Marco 12:14
14 Ed essi, venuti, gli dissero: Maestro, noi sappiamo che tu sei verace, e che non ti curi d’alcuno, perché non guardi all’apparenza delle persone, ma insegni la via di Dio secondo verità. E’ egli lecito pagare il tributo a Cesare o no? Dobbiamo darlo o non darlo?

Marco 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).

Marco 12:14 In-Context

12 Ed essi cercavano di pigliarlo, ma temettero la moltitudine; perché si avvidero bene ch’egli aveva detto quella parabola per loro. E lasciatolo, se ne andarono.
13 E gli mandarono alcuni dei Farisei e degli Erodiani per coglierlo in parole.
14 Ed essi, venuti, gli dissero: Maestro, noi sappiamo che tu sei verace, e che non ti curi d’alcuno, perché non guardi all’apparenza delle persone, ma insegni la via di Dio secondo verità. E’ egli lecito pagare il tributo a Cesare o no? Dobbiamo darlo o non darlo?
15 Ma egli, conosciuta la loro ipocrisia, disse loro: Perché mi tentante? Portatemi un denaro, ch’io lo vegga.
16 Ed essi glielo portarono. Ed egli disse loro: Di chi è questa effigie e questa iscrizione? Essi gli dissero:
The Riveduta Bible is in the public domain.
