those who test the content
Mark 12:13-17
The high priests, scribes, and elders who challenged Jesus over authority issues in the temple and were disgraced by the parable of the evil peasant
The Pharisees and the Herodians, to be imprisoned again for the tax issue...
Taxes are collected from the Jews and paid to the Roman government.
So, among the Jews, it is not known that taxes were paid to Rome.
Recognizing another ruler besides God, this is a criminal act, and the Zealots revolt...
It is impossible, impossible, to pay rent to Caesar under such circumstances...
This is to take hold of Jesus when he sees a gap in his words...
The emperor of Rome ceded to the emperor Caesar Augustus.
Counting a few...
① In terms of tax, males aged 14-65 years, females 12-65 = 1 denarius each = financed by the emperor..
② Topography = grain yield 10/1, alcohol fruit 5/1
③ Income tax 1% of all income.
This shows that all Judea was subject to Rome...
Paying taxes is a humiliation for Jews.
In this situation, the question of J wants to plunge him into the quagmire of four faces.
Then the Lord's response...
1, know that eating out
15 “Jesus knew of his hypocrisy”
Eating out is hypocrisy,
They didn't ask questions to know the truth, they put Jesus in a corner...
The saints have the truth in their body...
To be the truth in everything...
Eating out is the Lord's first
15 “Jesus knew of his hypocrisy”
They ask seriously, but Jesus...
like this
The Lord knows earthen vessels disguised as silver.
Matthew 23:28 “In the same way you also appear righteous to others on the outside, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and fire.”
Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like hypocrites, for they love to stand in the synagogues and at the entrance to the streets to be seen and pray.”
A true meeting lasts a long time... Friend, Lee Seong-do
Like this, if you truly meet Jesus, even if this world ends, you will be forever.
So the hypocrisy is expelled and the truth...
2, testing Jesus
15 “Jesus, knowing his hypocrisy, said to him, “Why are you testing me?”
The test is Peirazo.
Satan wants to knock Jesus down in the wilderness.
Now their test is the same word [feirazo]
Now we want to put Jesus in a corner and lead him to ruin.
this act
He is playing the role of Satan who hinders the work of God...
Even saints sometimes test the Lord...
But if you don't keep Sunday = your life's troubles...
Tithing filth = you can't break out of that pattern for the rest of your life
Resting from prayer = living without tasting the omnipotence of God
Believers believe in the omnipotence of God by faith
Living in God's will...
3, Caesar's to Caesar
17 “Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
This is to snare...
But listen to Jesus' wise answer...
Caesar's request is lawful, and God's
said to ...
God made human beings to live in the unitary order of the state.
therefore
The people must fulfill their responsibilities for order and peace...
Goro = Paying taxes faithfully as one of our responsibilities...
Therefore, the people cannot complain about the tax payment problem.
Because God has allowed it
Even believers can't complain about tax payment
Because it is a country that God has allowed...
All taxes in the country are collected for order and peace...
When these things are faithfully implemented, the order and peace of the country will be...
But if I oppose
Because people's things must be given to people.
God's things must be given to God...
No one should take what God deserves
Everything in the world belongs to God
Nothing is of man, but God is partly...
Can't give it slowly or use it for any other purpose
Decision, vow, all these things belong to God
Therefore, God's share must go to God...
The attitude we give to God is...
The attitude of eating out to show people is thoroughly expelled...
