29th Sunday Ordinary
19th October 2014
Year A
St Ignatius Church
Kensington Terrace, Toowong
They Belong to God and to No One Else
This incident is charged with tension. The
Pharisees have retreated to plan a decisive
attack on Jesus. To do so they do not come
themselves, but send a ‘few disciples’ and
thus avoid a direct confrontation with Jesus.
Holy Spirit Church
They are the guardians of the existing order,
Harriett Street, Auchenflower
and they do not want to lose their privileged
position in the society that Jesus is challenging radically.
The praise the disciples of the Pharisees shower on Jesus is
not usually found on their lips. “Teacher”, they said, “we
know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way
of God in accordance with the truth”. It’s all a trap, but
they’ve spoken with more truth than they intended: Jesus is
entirely committed to prepare the way for God, to bring
about a more just society.
He is not at the service of the Emperor of Rome; he is
involved in the process of the coming of God’s kingdom. He
is not there to spread the Roman Empire, but to make the
righteousness of God possible among his children. When
they ask him whether it is right to pay taxes to Caesar or
not, his answer is emphatic: “Give to Caesar what is
Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s”.
Very few words have been quoted as often as these: “Give to
Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s”, and none
have been so distorted by vested interests far removed from
the Prophet who was totally dedicated to the cause, not of
the Emperor but of those forgotten, impoverished, and
excluded by Rome.
