Luke 20:22 The Resurrection of Jesus

22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Meaning of Luke 20:22

In Luke 20:22, where Jesus is asked, "Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" the question tests Jesus’s stance on authority and allegiance. His response, urging to "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's," masterfully teaches the importance of discerning civic duty from spiritual commitment, reminding us to honor both earthly and divine responsibilities.
