The Tribute Money
Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1634
The Pharisees wanted to know from Christ whether Jewish law allowed taxes to be paid to the emperor. He saw through the trick question and asked who was depicted on a Roman coin: the emperor. Whereupon he said: ‘render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s’. Rembrandt hints here that the men have dubious intentions.
