Go on, make the coin.
Is it a give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar thing?
We don't buy canned soda, it's full of poison that you're paying $5 bucks for the privilege to ingest.
Therefore, Jesus was referring to the temple as one and the same as the belligerent occupying Roman forces.
And he was right, because the Edomites were indeed an occupying force over Judah.
If I were Bill Gates assistant, I would tell him a burger cost $500 bucks too.
Well there you go, that seemed almost too easy in the end.
I bet Trump sent them a picture of their tunnel.
The Pharisees Jesus spoke against were Edomites too, hence why he called them, Those who say they are JUDEANS but do lie.
Also King David while at war with Edom, called them Satan.
Hence Jesus called them the Synagogue of Satan.

Herod the Great
"(Matt. 2:1-22; Luke 1:5; Acts 23:35), the son of Antipater, an" "Idumaean, and Cypros, an Arabian of noble descent. In the year" "B.C. 47 Julius Caesar made Antipater, a "wily Idumaean," "procurator of Judea, who divided his territories between his" "four sons, Galilee falling to the lot of Herod, who was" "afterwards appointed tetrarch of Judea by Mark Antony (B.C. 40)," and also king of Judea by the Roman senate. "He was of a stern and cruel disposition. "He was brutish and a "stranger to all humanity." Alarmed by the tidings of one "born" "King of the Jews," he sent forth and "slew all the children that" "were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years" "old and under" (Matt. 2:16). He was fond of splendour, and" lavished great sums in rebuilding and adorning the cities of his "empire. He rebuilt the city of Caesarea (q.v.) on the coast, and" "also the city of Samaria (q.v.), which he called Sebaste, in" "honour of Augustus. He restored the ruined temple of Jerusalem," "a work which was begun B.C. 20, but was not finished till after" "Herod's death, probably not till about A.D. 50 (John 2:20)." "After a troubled reign of thirty-seven years, he died at Jericho" "amid great agonies both of body and mind, B.C. 4, i.e.," "according to the common chronology, in the year in which Jesus" was born. "After his death his kingdom was divided among three of his sons. "Of these, Philip had the land east of Jordan, between Caesarea" "Philippi and Bethabara, Antipas had Galilee and Peraea, while" Archelaus had Judea and Samaria.
NB: Books of Kings, Samuel and Lamentations describes the Edomites invading and occupying Judah circa 569 BC, right after the Israelites are taken into Babylonian captivity.
They set their own Kings over Judah from that time until 70 AD when crushed by Rome.
There were also Pharisee Edomites who believed on Jesus.
But they had to stay quiet, lest they lose their place.
Keep the faith Soldiers.
But he knew and accepted Jesus as the Christ. (Messiah)
