Summary: | Jesus' statement on the tribute question (Mk 12:13-17 par) was not a direct answer to the question asked nor a practical directive but a statement of principle indicating that the question had to be answered in the light of Caesar's claim vis-a-vis God's total claim over the Jewish people. It was for the interlocutors to draw the conclusion themselves which in effect was that payment of the tribute was not lawful. |
