Thanks Barbara and Peter, not only for the provocative sermon, but for the enlightened conversation. Together, the two of you brought the subject of "World Hunger" down to earth and right to home. Surely going to the aid of any of our needy brothers and sisters is the very next thing to Godliness.

Sadly Bishop Watson misses important clues in the text from Mark he alludes to.
1. Jesus reference to the hipocricy of his interlocutors. Many Pharisees and all Herodians were collaborators with the Romans and paid taxes already.
2. "Show me a denarius" is the most important request of Jesus since the simple act of carrying such a coin in one’s purse unmasked the true character of that person. Jews were allowed by Rome to mint their own coins as is clearly demonstrated in Matthew 17.
3. Jesus asks Hoti eikon to epigrapha? Unfortunately the Greek is betrayed, but preachers should at least consult a lexicon or an interlinear Greek/English version. The correct translation should be: "Whose graven image and inscription?" Graven image immediately sends the faithful back to Exodus 20 and the injunction against idols and graven images.
4. Final blow. Having unmasked the questioners as Roman collaborators and violators of the law of Moses now Jesus can quip "render unto Caesar…." knowing that the faithful know that everything is God’s and nothing belongs to Caesar (Psalm 24:1) What is God’s? The Earth and those who dwell therein." What is Caesar’s? Zilch, nichts, nada, niente, rien, NOTHING.
That is one of the reasons Jesus is crucified because he opposed Caesar and his minions and adviced openly NOT to pay taxes with a statement understood by the faithful and the traitors.
The true followers of Jesus keep on being executed by the minions of empires whether Martin Luther King Jr. or Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, the fate is the same, death to those who dare to suggest ways to live in peace.
The entry into Jerusalem is consistent with the challenge to Caesar in the confrontation about paying taxes to Rome. Please note that Jesus does pay the Temple tax but with ikon-less didrachmas, not with denarius with "graven images."
