MARK—NOTE ON Mark 12:17 the things that are Caesar’s... the things that are God’s. See notes on Matt. 22:21; Luke 20:25. Jesus does not discuss the question of whether the current Roman government is just or unjust, but he does imply that it is right to pay taxes to Caesar. God’s kingdom, however, transcends all of these “things.”
