The pharisees expected Jesus to contradict Caesar`s laws; however He reminded them that we should forget useless earthly made-man things and focus mainly on our commitment to the Heavenly Father.

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.

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.
