And he said unto them,
Whose is this image and superscription?
All Commentaries on Matthew 22:20 Go To Matthew 22
John Chrysostom
AD 407
So that, when He asks, not from ignorance does He ask, but because it is His will to cause them to be bound by their own answers. For when, on being asked, Whose is the image? they said, Cæsar's; He says, Render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's. For this is not to give but to render, and this He shows both by the image, and by the superscription.
