22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
22 Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
22 Now tell us-is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 20:22
Commentary on Luke 20:20-26
(Read Luke 20:20-26)
Those who are most crafty in their designs against Christ and his gospel, cannot hide them. He did not give a direct answer, but reproved them for offering to impose upon him; and they could not fasten upon any thing wherewith to stir up either the governor or the people against him. The wisdom which is from above, will direct all who teach the way of God truly, to avoid the snares laid for them by wicked men; and will teach our duty to God, to our rulers, and to all men, so clearly, that opposers will have no evil to say of us.
