Why did the religious leaders ask Jesus about paying taxes?

What would happen if Jesus said they shouldn’t pay?

Who wouldn’t like it if Jesus said they should pay the tax?

Whose face was on the coin?

What did Jesus say about the coin?

What else did Jesus say about spending?

Prayer

Dear Lord, thank you for giving us so much.

Help us to think carefully about how we use everything you give to us and be generous in how we share it.

Help us to pay what we owe and never cheat people out of money we should be paying, and help us to give generously back to you and to those with greater needs than us –

whether that’s our money, time or skills. Amen
