Study Notes on the Sunday Gospel Matthew 22: 15-22 Introduction & Context Here followers of the “Pharisees” (v. 15) and “Herodians” (v. 16, people who supported Herod, the Roman puppet king, and his successors) – united only in their desire to get rid of Jesus – speak to Jesus. They appear to respect him, but speak with irony. And then the question, the subject of great debate in Jewish circles: should we pay the annual poll tax to Rome? (v. 17) Opinions varied: one group, the Zealots, claimed that God’s people should not be subject to pagan Gentiles. Jesus sees through their plot; he calls them “hypocrites” (v. 18) for pretending to respect him but intending to discredit him. If Jesus says yes, Zealots and other Jews hostile to Rome will turn against him; if he says no, he will risk arrest for inciting rebellion against Rome. We know his answer, as translated, but “Give” (v. 21) can be give back or repay. To Jews then and to us now, all we have is given to us by God; we owe everything to him. Jesus sidesteps another issue (vv. 20-22): the obverse side of the coin is inscribed Tiberius Caesar, son of the divine Augustus, great high priest – an affront to his fellow monotheistic Jews. Once you are settled and are ready to go: Read the passage slowly and reflectively Note anything that particularly strikes you and refer to the
notes if they are helpful Spend a few moments in quiet reflection If you are a group, share your reflections in pairs or as a whole
group (remembering that each person will have different perspectives and views on the passage)
Read the passage for a final time and give thanks to God for the gift of his holy word.

Thought for the day In normal life we hardly realise how much more we receive than we give, and life cannot be rich without such gratitude. It is so easy to overestimate the importance of our own acheivements compared with what we owe to the help of others. - Deitrich Bonhoeffer.

On Mission Sunday, we went to 9am service of Morning Prayer (1662 Prayer Book) at St John the Evangelist, Bush End, near Hatfield Forest. We had a very warm welcome and a thought-provoking sermon from the Vicar, Rev Dr Naomi Wormell, who has spoken to the Theological Society. David Simmonds
Mission Sunday Reports
Margaret went to St Giles, Gt Hallingbury where Ryanair skim the Church steeple. Thankfully, Ryanair had serious problems so instead of the Harvest Services being punctuated every two minutes with a thunderous roar, they only had three interruptions! The local private school took part and it was a lovely county Harvest thanksgiving with everyone taking home-made produce to the altar. ‘All my neighbours and friends including the Rector Janice Green greeted me like a long-lost friend’.
