a penny   See Mat 18:28; Mat 20:2
image   This was the head of the emperor; the superscription his titles. Julius Cæsar was the first who caused his image to be struck on the Roman coin; and Tiberius was emperor at this time. This therefore was a denarius of Cæsar, [dinarah kesar-anah] as it is termed in the Talmud; and consequently this was respecting the tribute required by the Roman government.
Caesar's   Luk 20:22; Luk 2:1; Luk 3:1; Luk 23:2; Act 11:28; Act 25:8-12; Act 26:32; Phl 4:22
