Matius 22:19

22:19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” So ³  they brought him a denarius. ⁴ 

[9:1]  ¹ sn His own town refers to Capernaum. It was a town of approximately 1000-1500, though of some significance.

[15:39]  ² sn Magadan was a place along the Sea of Galilee, the exact location of which is uncertain.

[22:19]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate their response to Jesus’ request for a coin.

[22:19]  ⁴ tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.

[22:19]  sn A denarius was a silver coin worth approximately one day’s wage for a laborer. The fact that they had such a coin showed that they already operated in the economic world of Rome. The denarius would have had a picture of Tiberius Caesar stamped on it.
