What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
This smooth and treacherous enquiry was a kind of challenge to the answerer to fear God rather than Cæsar, and immediately they say, Tell us therefore, what thinkest Thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar or not? Should He say tribute should not be paid, the Herodians would immediately accuse Him as a person disaffected to the Emperor.
Thomas Aquinas
There follows the question: tell us therefore, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? The census was a tax that was given per head.
