Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Mark 12:13-17

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“The inevitable wants of our bodies is as Cæsar unto each of us; the Lord therefore orders that there should be given to the body its own, that is, food and raiment, and to God the things that are God’s. It goes on: And they marvelled at him. They who ought to have believed, wondered at such great wisdom, because they had found no place for their craftiness.”
