It means that money is earthly, so you use it on earth.
Praise is heavenly, so you give that to god :)
^In addition to this already very good answer, I would add that Jesus was reminding me that God doesn't want us to break the law. God is important of course. But while we live on earth we must also follow the laws of our own land. So paying taxes to Caesar is not wrong, because as the political leader he was owed that. But God, as our leader in a higher way, deserves his own "taxes" of our love and prayers.
Jesus said "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's"Matthew 22:21
Matthew 22:21
The taxes were being taken by Julius Caesars soldiers or tax collectors. back then he was the king of Rome and controlling this. his face was on the money/coins. It is mentioned in the book of Matthew that Jesus makes a point to his people. He asks them who's face is on the coin, his or Caesar's...so then they will be respectful and pay their taxes. Matthew 22 18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, "Whose image is this? And whose inscription?" 21 "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
Caesar's ghost says he comes to tell Brutus that he (Brutus) will see him (the ghost) at Philippi. But this is not what he means. What he means is that Caesar will be revenged on Brutus at Philippi
Coins of the ruling realm, as in this story: Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. (Mark12.15-17)
what opportuity did the American revolution give Caesar what opportuity did the American revolution give Caesar
Luke 3:1 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar..."
God says nothing, but in the Christian New Testament, Jesus says: "Give unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, and to God, the things that belong to God."
Caesar is mentioned 24 times in the KJV Bible. But only 3 are mentioned by other names - Caesar Augustus, (Luke 2.1), Tiberius Caesar, (Luke 3.1), and Claudius Caesar, (Acts 11.28) So your answer would be three.
Roman citizens did not pay income tax during the time of Jesus. Instead, taxes were collected through various means such as tolls, customs duties, and land taxes. The most infamous tax was the census tax, which required citizens to register their property and pay a head tax.
Killing that soldiers do, however regrettable, is under the power of the state. It is not the sole act of a single person. It is therefore not the same as murder. "Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." Mark 12:17 (NIV) "Caesar" is the state.
When Jesus said, "Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's," he was talking about money owed to the government, but he could just as easily have been talking about any other aspect of government: leave government to the secular authorities.
