Matteo 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.

Matteo 22:19 In-Context

17 Dicci dunque: Che te ne pare? E’ egli lecito pagare il tributo a Cesare, o no?
18 Ma Gesù, conosciuta la loro malizia, disse: Perché mi tentate, ipocriti?
19 Mostratemi la moneta del tributo. Ed essi gli porsero un denaro. Ed egli domandò loro:
20 Di chi è questa effigie e questa iscrizione?
21 Gli risposero: Di Cesare. Allora egli disse loro: Rendete dunque a Cesare quel ch’è di Cesare, e a Dio quel ch’è di Dio.
