What was it about Jesus` answer that caused the Pharisees and Herodians to marvel?
Hi everyone, I think the Pharisees never expected Jesus to respond like that, they thought he would say like the child of God doesn`t pay tax and then they find reasons to accuse him rightaway.

Give to Ceasar the thing that belong to him and give to God thing that belong to him. God want us to tithe give offering. When you do what you need for God everything else will follow. Seek God first.

They expected him to refuse the money to Caesar as a sign of rebellion to his dominion. But his is anothe Kingdom. Others are the talents we need to cherish, multiply and share with the others. Another is the gate we are called to strive to be worthy of reaching. His is the face we need to keep focusing on in that Home bound journey.

The Sacred Heart of Mary
Our souls are a gift of God and to Him they long to return. Hers the Heart of Mother Church/church the confessional. Jesus came through her pure gate. Salvation coming through rebirth in Baptism. Like that in the Confessional through her heart with like humility we meet Jesus and with the pangs of birth / contrition of the heart and soul, we are `reborn` our slate made clean. Like in Baptism we reject the sin cumulated here and are `sprinkled` gain with the Holy Spirit and the Words of Absolution restore the seal of Grace ''Jesus paternal severity -OT - Mary`s maternal tenderness...the Law of Love.....Blood and water gushing forth from his side''

Having looking for a way to indict Jesus, they were so surprise that he knew their motive and then answered to even more confuse their conscience. Much more, they don`t believe Jesus can support the payment of tax.

Some thaought that Jesus had no respect for the social set up of the Jewish community, therfore they looked for a chance to convict him before society, but they were thrown back when he read their minds.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk. They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone. Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites? Show me the tax money."
They brought to him a denarius.
He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
They said to him, "Caesar's."
Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.
