Read Luke 20.20-26. This is the first mention of the Roman governor (see 23.1-25, especially 23.2 on "taxes to the emperor"). In verse 21: To show deference would mean to allow political influence to prevail over truth. In verse 22: Lawful means in accord with God's law as interpreted by Israel's teachers. In verse 25: Jesus' answer still leaves them with the question of whether all things belong to God (Ps 24.1; see Acts 4.19; 5.29). In verse 26: The presence of the people is again the context for this attempted trap. Comments or Questions..
