Listen "Ep. 58: What Did “Render to Caesar” Really Mean?"
Episode Synopsis
In Matthew 22, Jesus gets cornered with a trap question: “Should we pay taxes to Caesar?” Sam and Will walk through why it was a no-win setup (Pharisees vs. Herodians), why Jesus asks for the denarius, and how the coin’s blasphemous titles (“son of god,” “high priest”) expose the hypocrisy in the room. From Tiberius’ image to Rome’s “gospel” propaganda (Pax Romana, imperial “savior” language), you’ll see how Jesus flips the question into something bigger: what bears Caesar’s image… and what bears God’s image.
