■ I ■ on argl M Lesson creamed comments on THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, JESUS QUESTIONED ABOUT THE TRIBUTE, Luke 20:19-26, for Sunday, February 1. Last week's lesson emphasized the importance of authority in religion; this week's lesson deals with the two authorities under which we live—the secular >nd the spiritual, both of which demand certain obligations and allegiances. The setting of the lesson is in Jerusalem on the Tuesday prior to Christ’s death. V. 19. “And the chief priests and the schibes the same hour sought to lay hand son him; and they feared the people; for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them." The parable referred to was that of the wicked husbandman who slew the servants and eventually the son of the vineyard owner. (Luke 20:9-18) The final asault against Jesus had begun. His enemies realized that he was about to substitute a new spiritual authority which would impair their position, and had decided it was his life or theirs, so they set out to t r a p him. They would like to have killed Jesus outright, but his popularity and public sentiment made it seem unwise to do so, and they resorted to subterfuge, which they hoped would get him into difficulty with the Roman authorities. V. 20. “And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor." The leading Pharisees stayed in the background and the spies doubtless included some Herodians, who often were at odds with the Pharisees, but on this occasion desired equally to get Jesus out of the way as he was a threat to their position. These spies pretended to be friendly, but were really trying to catch Jesus in some statement that would turn the people or the governor against him. Vs. 21.22“ And they asked him? saying, Master, we know that thou sayest andteaehest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of “any, but teachest the way truly; ... Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?” By their words of flattery, the spies thought P ut Christ off bis guard so Vhtw would make a declaration that would arouse the authorities or some faction of the people. Since 63 B.C. the Romans had controlled Palestine, and since A.D.6 they had colected a poll tax every year from every adult man in the region that Pilate governed. The Jews resented this.tax deeply, both for economic reasons and because it meant political subjection to Rome, a pagan power. This was a live issue In Jesus’ day. If he had answered “Yes’* to the question, all those who opposed paying tribute would be up in arms against him; if he answered “No,” he would have seemed to be inciting rebellion and could have been turned over to Pilate as a rebel. His refusal to answer would have also been misinterpreted. Vs. 23,24. “But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto , them, Why tempt ye me? ... Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.” Jesus first revealed the insincerity of his questioners who hear pretendedto be honest inquirers. A penny or denarius was the common daily wage of a laborer. Roman coins almost invariably had on them the 1 head of the emperor who was reigning when they were coined. They were the only coins acceptable for the payment of Roman taxes so had to be used. The inscription on the coin also had a re- 1 ligious meaning since it read in .Latin, “Tiberius Caesar, August ] Son of Divine Augustus.” It called Tiberius "chief priest” or pontifex maximus.” This assertion of the divinity of the emperor angered < the Jews. V 5.25,26. “And he said unto them ’ Render therefore unto Caesar the , things which be Caesar’s and unto God the tfongs which be God’s... ( And they could not take hold if his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held ] their peace.” The Jews were using this money in trade a n d to pay . their taxes which was their obligation. Jesus emphasized that one ( could do his duty to God and be -a true citizen of God’s kingdom ( and yet submit to the r u 1 e of a heathen emperor by returning in taxes that which was his due. To pay taxes and fulfill one’s political j obligations is proper, but men must never alow these duties to i compromise their allegiance to God. Since the spies could not use t Jesus’ words to discredtA him before the people or the authorities, ] there was nothing for them to do but keep still. s — —Based cm copyrighted outlines 1 produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council 1 of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. r ; ti No one has ever yet- cleaned up anything with soft soap, it takes grit. ’ 1

It was also learned from Van Wert authorities that the 17-year-old youth did not leave the. car at the scene of the theft, as previously reported.

Children’s Custody To Ingrid Bergman Paris Judge Awards Custody To Actress PARIS (UPD — A Paris judge 1 today awarded Swedish acfress In- » grid Bergman custody of the three . children of her broken marriage j with Italian director Roberto Rossellini. He granted "visiting rights - to Rossellini. t Miss Bergman also won a pre- - liminary legal skirmish in Rome, f In Paris, a judge awarded Miss - Bergman temporary and condL t tional custody of Robertino 8, and s 6-year-old twins Isabella and Isot-ta-Ingfid. Court referee Rene Droullat rul- ; ed under French law that JMiss . Bergman could keep the children j weekdays and Rossellini could t have them on weekends — provided the children remain in the Paris area. However, he ruled that this arrangement would be valid only until a higher French court or an Italian tribunal hands down a perI manent decision on the children’s I custody. i Rossellini filed suit in Rome for • custody of the children soon after Miss Bergman married Swedish , producer Lars Schmidt during the ’ Christmas holidays. Miss Bergman filed a counter- • suit in A Paris. The children are living with the Schmi&s in a villa 5 outside Paris? • No date was set for the next hearing here. ’ A few hours before Drouillat 1 handed down his ruling, a judge in Rome postponed judgment on Rossellini's custody plea there until Feb. 27 because of “procedural irregularities.” The delay came after Miss Bergman’s Rome lawyer filed a last-minute protest. ■ Neither Miss Bergman nor Rossellini was in cpurt today. 1 In the Rome action Rossellini ’ sought immediate custody of the r three children on grounds he 1 wanted to bring them up as 1 Roman Catholics and they were ' now with Miss Bergman and her j new husband, both Protestants, It had been speculated Judge r Alberto Virgilio would order the children to move from Paris to 1 an Italian boarding school until a , final settlement is reached. . 1 But before he could act, lawyer Andrea Malcagni filed a protest on Miss Bergman’s behalf regard- ‘ ing the manner in which she was informed of Rossellini’s Rome ac--5 tion. The complaint said notice of the action was sent to the Rome apartment where Ingrid formerly lived with Rossellini, although she is actually living in Paris. Virgilio ruled that since Miss Bergman had not been legally notified of the action, the process ; would have to be started anew. i . .
