20170606 Gospel Mk 12:13-17

Some Pharisees and Herodians were sent to Jesus to ensnare him in his speech. They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion. You do not regard a person’s status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.” They brought one to him and he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, “Caesar’s.” So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him.

Pamalandong:

Tangutana nan Pharisees si Jesus mahitungod sa pagbayad nan census tax kan Caesar dinhi sa aton ebanghelyo kuman.

Pero an intensiyon baja nila dinhi na bit’kon lamang si Jesus sa Ija itubag dila.

Tag-tugutan lamang Nija sila na maka-pangutana para kahatagan ‘sab Sija na higajon na maka-tudlo dila nan karajawan sanan para mahibuyong sila sa Ija itubag.

Nahibayo na daan si Jesus na andam na ang mga Pariseo mo strike nan ila pangutana pero waya Sija magpa-daya nan ila mga tam’is na mga pulong.

Amo ‘sab kita, kinahanglan permi ligdong kita sa ato mga pag-sagubang sa mga problema.

Gugma an panawagan ni God para dato tanan ugsa sun’don gajud nato an mga lipan’on na mga balaod para sa karajawan nan ato komunidad pero naka-tuon gajud permi an ato huna-huna sa pagsunod sa mga balaod ni God.
