Taxman page 3 by ric Gustafson
The next morning, the two set out to find the Rabbi. They walked for a while and could not find him. A short time later, Julius saw the Rabbi and some of his followers sitting under a large sycamore tree talking to themselves.
As they approached the Rabbi, he looked at them with a grin on his face as if he already knew what they were about to do.
Eamon walked up to the Rabbi. " Teacher". He hesitated not knowing what to say next.
Julius took a coin from his pocket and put it into his friend's hand.
" Teacher, my friend and I know that what you speak and teach is right and true".
Jesus looked at the two men.
Eamon felt the coin in his hand. " Teacher, is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?".
Jesus grinned because he knew what they were trying to do.
Jesus put his hand out. " Show me a coin".
