They Marvelled, and Left Him, and Went Their Way....

TRIBUTE TO CAESAR
By Arvo Pärt
Performed by Hart House Chorus (2012)

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying,

"Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth,
neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said,

"Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money."

And they brought unto him a penny.

And he saith unto them,

"Whose is this image and superscription?"

They saith unto him, "Caesar's."

Then saith he unto them,

"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; 
and unto God the things that are God's."

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so. 

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
