What was it about Jesus` answer that caused the Pharisees and Herodians to marvel?
they were looking for a way to convict him in society and they were suprised that he knew what they were doing and that he told them the truth of God which is to respect earthly power but respect and be faithful to the Lord and not to cause trouble with earthly powers unless they are truely defying the Lord b/c the Lord wants us to follow him and no one else but also in the earthly life we must follow the rules and laws unless of course they tell us to worship anyone else over God.

What was it about Jesus` answer that caused the Pharisees and Herodians to marvel?
Jesus answered them wisely that, `what belongs to Caesar is Caesar`s and what belongs to God is God`s just by using the same denarius they came with to test him. Jesus told them what they had in their minds that they were coming being sent by the Pharisees to test him.

You see the world thinks ''including the Pharisees and Herodians'' they have the answers to all the questions and they know everything their is to know. Until they turn to the son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord who knows everything and owns everything. Until they repent and believe in him will they truly understand that he is our creator and teacher and owner of All. Jesus is Lord!

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.

What was it about Jesus` answer that caused the Pharisees and Herodians to marvel?
As a Pharisees who expert in Law of Moses, they even cant differentiate between tithe and tax. Two of this are relevent; we must pay because Goverment give facility to citizen from tax money while by paying tithe to church, God bless us in our health, salary, job, our kids and everything in our life ''Malachi 3:10''. Jesus never said it and we never read in bible that YOU SHALL NOT PAY TAX eventhough during Jesus time people hate the Tax collectors. It is our duty to pay tax and also our duty to pay tithe to church. But tax is tax and tithe is tithe. That is what Jesus mean in by ''`Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar`s, and to God the things that are God`s`''. This are the reason why the Pharisees and Herodians marvel to our Jesus almighty.

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.
