Jesus was there speaking about dividing one’s loyalties between God and riches, but he clearly felt that the same principle applied to involvement in politics ​ — as did his followers in the first century.
Kuigi ta rääkis siin enda jagamisest Jumala ja rikkuse vahel, mõistis ta, et sama põhimõte kehtib ka poliitikasse sekkumise puhul, ja seda taipasid tema esimese sajandi järelkäijadki.
