Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples: His wondrous deeds. Psalm 96:1 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time In the gospel reading of this Sunday, some Pharisees accompanied by a few supporters of the civil power ask Jesus a question about paying taxes to the government in order to discredit Jesus in his role of teacher. Jesus confuses his opponents and gets out of their trap by saying: Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. Jesus makes a distinction between God and all the Caesars of the world. God is the first to be served. Then the debate, at first focused on religious and political matters, is raised by Christ to a spiritual level, that is, the relationship with God. All human beings are made in the image and likeness of God whatever their background, their gender, or their social rank. All are called to adoration as their duty toward God. The state has the duty to establish organizations to promote the development of men and women. For this reason, Jesus agrees that the State has the right to set taxes. Vigesimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En el Evangelio de este Domingo, unos fariseos acompañados con un grupo del poder civil le hicieron preguntas a Jesús para ver si lo podían descreditar en sus enseñanzas como maestro. Jesús los confunde con sus preguntas cuando les dice: Den pues al Cesar lo que es del Cesar, y a Dios lo que es de Dios. Jesús los hace ver que hay una gran diferencia entre Dios y todos los Cesar del mundo. Primero se sirve a Dios. Dios los hace ver que toda la humanidad es hecha a la imagen y la semejanza de Dios, no importa su origen, su sexo o su posición social. Todos son llamados a la adoración de Dios. El estado tiene el deber de establecer organizaciones para el desarrollo de hombres y mujeres. Esto es la razón por la cual Jesús dice que el estado tiene el derecho de establecer los impuesto. Vingt-neuvième dimanche du temps ordinaire Dans la lecture évangélique de ce dimanche, des pharisiens accompagnés de quelques partisans du pouvoir civil, posent à Jésus une question sur les taxes à payer à l Etat pour le discréditer dans son rôle d enseignant. Jésus confond ses opposants et se sort de l impasse en leur disant: «Rendez donc à César ce qui est à César, et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu.» Ainsi, le débat qui, au départ, se situe sur les plans religieux et politique, est élevé par le Christ au rang spirituel, celui de la relation avec Dieu. Jésus distingue Dieu de tous les Césars du monde. Dieu premier servi. Tous les êtres humains sont faits à l image de Dieu, quelque soient leur origine, leur sexe ou leur rang social. Tous sont appelés à l adoration, c est leur devoir envers Dieu. A l Etat il revient le rôle d établir un cadre propice à la croissance intégrale des hommes et des femmes. C est pour répondre à ce besoin que l Etat a le droit de prélever des taxes. The Pharisees plotted to trap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him saying, Teacher we know you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. What is your opinion: is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Knowing their malice Jesus said, Why are you testing me? Show me the coin that pays the tax. They handed him a Roman coin. He said Whose image is this and whose inscription? They replied, Caesar s At that he said to them, Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.
