Matthew 22:19

19 ostendite mihi nomisma census at illi obtulerunt ei denarium

Matthew 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.

Matthew 22:19 In-Context

17 dic ergo nobis quid tibi videatur licet censum dare Caesari an non

18 cognita autem Iesus nequitia eorum ait quid me temptatis hypocritae

19 ostendite mihi nomisma census at illi obtulerunt ei denarium

20 et ait illis Iesus cuius est imago haec et suprascriptio

21 dicunt ei Caesaris tunc ait illis reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo
