Today there is a retiring collection for World Mission Sunday. My Dear Friends, At the time of Jesus the country of Israel was occupied by the Romans, in some areas ruled by puppet kings such as the Herods, in other areas more directly through a Roman governor such as Pontius Pilate. There was a general dislike of the occupiers, but some people, e.g. the tax collectors, made a good living out of them, and it would be judged seditious to be seem to be openly critical of them. This is the background to the questions Jesus is asked in today’s gospel. If he says taxes should not be paid to Caesar he will be accused of being a terrorist, if he says it is acceptable to pay the taxes to him, he will be accused of betraying his country. As ever Jesus takes the debate to a higher level. The coin he asks for has Caesar’s head on it. It is his image and so belongs to him. But we are made in God’s image and likeness. We belong to him and should be more concerned about getting that relationship right. Fr.
