After Jesus had spoken a parable to the religious rulers, they now plotted how to trap Him in His words. Not only were these religious leaders, but also some political leaders who confronted Jesus about paying taxes to the government.

We saw in chapter 17 the religious rulers were collecting temple tax, but here in Matt.22:15-23 Jesus deals, not with temple tax, but with taxes to Caesar, e.g. Rome.

Jesus’ answer put these rulers under a dual responsibility both to God and to Caesar.

Dr. Mitchell shares the perceived underlying motive of these leaders as they confront Jesus.

God knows the hearts of people and He gives to the believer perception and discernment as well. How does He do this? Through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.

Let’s join Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matt.22:15.
