Render to Caesar

PRAY.COM
About this episode

Discover how Jesus turns a clever trap into a timeless lesson about our earthly and divine responsibilities.

In this episode, the Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar, hoping to corner Him into a compromising answer. However, Jesus responds with profound wisdom, teaching that we should render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s, leaving His challengers astonished.

Today's Bible verse is Mark 12:17, from the King James Version.
