Brief Description of Subject: "The Pharisees went and took counsel how to entanble him in his talk. And they sent their disciples to him ... saying 'Teacher, we know thou art true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men. Tell us, then what do you think. It is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?' ... And they brought him a coin ... Jesus said to them, 'Whose likeness and inscription is this?' They said, 'Ceasar's.' Then he said to them, 'Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away. Matthews 22
Here, in mockery, the disciple of the Pharisee holds a coin, asking to whom tirbute should be paid: to God or the the emperor. Jesus, in the full confidence of his ministry, had a ready answer.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.
All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.
If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
