Study of Mark 12:13-17 led by Dong Hyeon Jeong

March 18, 2021, 7:30pm Eastern Time

In this session, Rev. Dr. Dong Hyeon Jeong will share an Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) perspective on Mark 12:13-17, in which Jesus discusses taxation with the Pharisees and Herodians. This passage contains the instruction to “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s,” which has often been used to imply the need for blind acceptance of authority.
