Matthew 22:20
Jesus always asks those simple but profound questions. Who’s picture is on it? Who wrote these words on it? And, by implication, who does it belong to? Everyone knew the answer to the first two questions, and would readily realize the answer to the third. Thus, by way of simple illustration, Jesus reminds everyone that coinage comes from a central location, and ultimately belongs to the government.
