In Matthew 22:21, Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's." This quote is part of Jesus' response to a joint attempt by the Herodians and Pharisees to make Jesus stumble in front of His own people. The Herodians were a non-religious Jewish party who supported the dynasty of Herod and the general policy of the Roman government.0 The extracanonical Gospel of Thomas also has a version that reads in the Stephen Patterson and Marvin Meyer Version 100: They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, "The Roman emperor's people demand taxes from us." Jesus replied, "Give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, give God what belongs to God, and give me what is mine." This quote means that we should give to Caesar what is his, which means we should give him an amount based on his legitimate claim or legitimate authority.1
what he meant was, when you work for someone and get wages, tax must be paid.
but when you work for each other and just do each other favours, someone has a skill as a carpenter so he fixes something for a neighbour who is a blacksmith, the blacksmith can return the favour.
no cash needed so no tax give.
