In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. The Gospel according to Luke, chapter 2, verses 1-3. What kind of society, in which the Romans collected taxes, did the Jews live? What did the coins look like that Judas received from the chief priests? The following presentation will attempt to answer these and other questions. These incidents and other examples make us curious. We can deduce the date of Jesus’ birth from a tax assessment.The betrayal by Judas was rewarded with 30 silver coins. Throughout the New Testament, money played an important role. He used numerous images of money, profit and payment. In His sermons, Jesus frequently spoke sophisticatedly about the financial situation and the economic system of His time. After all, who would go on hoarding treasures when the Day of Judgment was fast approaching? Jesus had told His followers that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God. Their gospel spoke of the pointlessness of chasing after money, possessions and material security. His followers became known as Christians because they carried the word of Jesus Christ to the world. With his death, Jesus of Nazareth led a myriad of people to a new beginning. Among them was the man who called himself the Son of Man. 7 And they covenanted with him for 30 pieces of silverĪccording to our calendar, it probably happened on April 7 in the year 30 AD: the execution of three alleged criminals in Jerusalem on Calvary Hill.6 And Pilate washed his hands before the multitude.3 Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's.Here you will find out in pictures and text not only which coins were in circulation in Judaea when Jesus was alive. And lo and behold, in the scriptures there are more answers than you might think. This DVD deals with the Christian religion and examines the question of what the New Testament has to say about money and the right way to handle it. So it is hardly surprising that questions revolving around money also occupy those who are concerned about the salvation of people's souls: the religions. Whether you worship money as if it were the golden calf or regard it as filthy lucre – it affects everyone in some way or other.
