Mark 12
1.Jesus tells the parable of the tenants
13.He avoids the snare of the Pharisees and Herodians about paying tribute to Caesar;
18.convicts the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection;
28.resolves the scribe, who questioned of the first commandment;
35.refutes the opinion that the scribes held of the Christ;
38.bidding the people to beware of their ambition and hypocrisy;
41.and commends the poor widow for her two mites, above all.














“Teacher,” they said,
The term "Teacher" (Greek: Didaskalos) was a respectful title used for someone recognized as a rabbi or master of the law. In the context ofMark 12, the Pharisees and Herodians address Jesus with this title, acknowledging His authority and knowledge, even though their intentions are deceitful. This reflects the cultural practice of addressing religious leaders with respect, despite underlying motives.

“we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one.
This statement acknowledges Jesus' integrity and impartiality. In the Gospels, Jesus is consistently portrayed as one who speaks the truth without regard for personal gain or fear of human opinion. This aligns withProverbs 24:23, which emphasizes the importance of impartiality in judgment. The Pharisees and Herodians, however, use this truth to set a trap, highlighting the tension between Jesus' divine mission and human politics.

Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Jesus' teaching is rooted in divine truth, as seen throughout His ministry. His impartiality is a reflection of God's character, as stated inDeuteronomy 10:17, where God is described as not showing partiality. This phrase underscores the recognition of Jesus' divine authority and His role as the ultimate teacher of God's will, fulfilling the prophetic expectation of a Messiah who would reveal God's truth.

Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
The question of paying taxes to Caesar was a politically charged issue in first-century Judea. The Roman Empire imposed taxes on its subjects, which was a source of resentment among the Jewish people. The Pharisees and Herodians attempt to trap Jesus between the nationalistic sentiments of the Jews and the authority of Rome. This reflects the historical tension between Jewish autonomy and Roman occupation, as well as the broader theme of allegiance to earthly versus divine authority.

Should we pay them or not?”
This question forces a dilemma: if Jesus says "yes," He risks alienating the Jewish populace who despise Roman rule; if "no," He could be accused of rebellion against Rome. The question highlights the broader biblical theme of the believer's relationship to secular authority, as later addressed inRomans 13:1-7, where Paul instructs Christians to submit to governing authorities. Jesus' response, which follows, demonstrates His wisdom in navigating earthly and divine obligations.

Teaching Points
Integrity in Teaching
Jesus is recognized for His honesty and impartiality. As Christians, we should strive to emulate His integrity in our own lives, ensuring that our actions and words align with God's truth.

Wisdom in Response
Jesus demonstrates wisdom in His response to a potentially divisive question. We should seek God's wisdom in our interactions, especially when faced with challenging or controversial issues.

Dual Citizenship
Jesus' response highlights the balance between our responsibilities to earthly authorities and our ultimate allegiance to God. We must navigate our roles as citizens of both heaven and earth with discernment.

Avoiding Traps
The Pharisees and Herodians attempted to trap Jesus with their question. We should be aware of situations where others may try to entangle us in disputes, and respond with grace and truth.

Understanding Authority
Jesus acknowledges the legitimacy of earthly authority while maintaining God's supreme authority. This teaches us to respect and honor governmental structures while prioritizing our obedience to God.

What Does Mark 12:14 Mean
“Teacher,” they said

Calling Jesus “Teacher” signals public recognition of His authority. Even His opponents admit He instructs with divine insight. Their words, though insincere, echo truths affirmed elsewhere:

-John 3:2—Nicodemus confesses, “Rabbi…You are a teacher who has come from God.”

-Matthew 23:8—Jesus reminds disciples they have “one Teacher,” highlighting His unique role.

Their address underscores the scene’s tension: honest titles on deceitful lips.

“we know that You are honest”

They acknowledge His integrity—He embodies truth itself (John 14:6). Scripture consistently testifies that no deceit is found in Him (1 Peter 2:22). The Pharisees flatter, but their statement is accurate: Jesus’ words and deeds are perfectly aligned (John 8:46). His honesty exposes hypocrisy and invites genuine repentance.

“and seek favor from no one.”

Jesus does not shape His message to win applause.

-Galatians 1:10—Paul mirrors this standard: pleasing God, not people.

-John 5:41–44—Jesus refuses human praise, seeking only the Father’s glory.

His fearless proclamation assures believers that divine truth stands above shifting cultural approval.

“Indeed, You are impartial”

Impartiality reveals God’s character (Acts 10:34). Jesus treats rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, ruler and leper with the same just compassion.James 2:1 warns the church against favoritism, echoing Christ’s example. By recognizing His fairness, the challengers unwittingly affirm that Jesus judges with righteous judgment (John 7:24).

“and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.”

Jesus explains, embodies, and fulfills God’s path.

-John 7:16—“My teaching is not Mine but His who sent Me.”

-Matthew 7:28-29—Crowds marvel because He teaches “as one having authority.”

His instruction leads to life (John 6:68). Accepting His teaching is accepting God’s will revealed.

“Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

The question is a trap. If Jesus says “yes,” nationalists may view Him as traitorous; if “no,” Roman authorities could accuse Him of sedition. Yet underlying the scheme is a real issue: balancing submission to earthly governments with allegiance to God.Romans 13:1-7 and1 Peter 2:13-17 echo Jesus’ forthcoming principle—honor civil authority without compromising worship of God.

“Should we pay them or not?”

Their repetition pressures Jesus to give a simple, condemnable answer. He will soon respond with “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Mark 12:17), affirming both civic responsibility and ultimate devotion to the Lord. His wisdom dismantles the deceitful dilemma, exposing their hearts (Proverbs 26:24-26).

summary

Mark 12:14 records adversaries speaking truer words than they realize. In trying to ensnare Jesus, they confess His integrity, impartiality, and divine authority. Their cunning tax question highlights the believer’s dual obligation: respect governing powers while reserving wholehearted allegiance for God. Jesus’ flawless character and forthcoming answer guide Christians to live honestly, fearlessly, and obediently in every sphere of life.

(14)Thou regardest not the person of men.--The phrase is essentially Hebrew in its form, but had been made familiar by the Greek Version of the Old Testament.
