Mat 22 | TSK | STEP | The parable of the marriage of the king's son. The vocation of the Gentiles. The punishment of him that wanted the wedding garment. Tribute ought to be paid to Caesar. Christ confutes the Sadducees for the resurrection; answers the lawyer, which is the first and great commandment; and puzzles the Pharisees by a question about the Messias.

Now, by admitting that this was Cæsar's coin, and by consenting to receive it as the current coin of their country, they in fact acknowledged their subjection to his government, and of course their obligation to pay the tribute demanded of them. This answer was full of consummate wisdom, and it completely defeated the insidious designs of his enemies. He avoided rendering himself odious to the Jewish people by opposing their notions of liberty, or appearing to pay court to the emperor, without exposing himself to the charge of sedition and disaffection to the Roman government.

The Lord.This passage is expressly referred to the Messiah by several of the Jews. Rabbi Joden says, "In the world to come, the Holy Blessed God shall cause the king Messiah to sit at his right hand, as it is written, The Lord said to my Lord," etc. So Rabbi Moses Hadarson; and Saadias Gaon says, "This is Messiah our righteousness, as it is written, The Lord said to my Lord," etc.
