Render unto Caesar …
The Pharisees went and plotted to
entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with
the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach
the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you
do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it
lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?" But Jesus, aware of their
malice, said, "Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me
the coin used for the tax." And they brought him a denarius. Then he said
to them, "Whose head is this, and whose title?" They answered,
"The emperor's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to the
emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are
God's." When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went
away.

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own
solution.
It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.
