Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 22:15

“Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.”

“For if there remain with us nothing that is Cæsar’s, we shall not be bound by the condition of rendering to him the things that are his; but if we lean upon what is his, if we avail ourselves of the lawful protection of his power, we cannot complain of it as any wrong if we are required to render to Cæsar the things of Cæsar.”
