SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:19

Mostradme la moneda del tributo. Y ellos le presentaron un denario.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:19

Verse 19. They brought unto him a penny.] A denarius: probably the ordinary capitation tax, though the poll tax in the law, Exodus xxx. 13, 14, was half a shekel, about twice as much as the denarius. The Roman denarius had the emperor's image with a proper legend stamped on one side of it. It was not therefore the sacred shekel which was to be paid for the repairs of the temple which was now demanded, but the regular tribute required by the Roman government.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19. Shew me the tribute money , etc.] Not any money, or any sort of coin that was current among them; but that in which the tribute was usually paid, which was Roman money: and they brought unto him a penny; not as, being what was the usual sum that was paid for tribute at one time, but as a sample of what sort of money it was paid in, in Roman pence; one of which was seven pence halfpenny of our money.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-22 - The Pharisees sent their disciples with the Herodians, a party amon the Jews, who were for full subjection to the Roman emperor. Thoug opposed to each other, they joined against Christ. What they said of Christ was right; whether they knew it or not, blessed be God we know it. Jesus Christ was a faithful Teacher, and a bold reprover. Chris saw their wickedness. Whatever mask the hypocrite puts on, our Lor Jesus sees through it. Christ did not interpose as a judge in matter of this nature, for his kingdom is not of this world, but he enjoin peaceable subjection to the powers that be. His adversaries wer reproved, and his disciples were taught that the Christian religion i no enemy to civil government. Christ is, and will be, the wonder, no only of his friends, but of his enemies. They admire his wisdom, but will not be guided by it; his power, but will not submit to it.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

22:19 {Tribute money} (to nomisma tou kensou). K�nsos, Latin _census_, was a capitation tax or head-money, _tributum capitis_, for which silver denaria were struck, with the figure of Caesar and a superscription, e.g. "Tiberiou kaisaros" (McNeile). Nomisma is the Latin _numisma_ and occurs here only in the N.T., is common in the old Greek, from nomizw sanctioned by law or custom.
