In these three paragraphs, we see two things. Peter denying Jesus to save himself; Jesus denying himself to save Peter. But there is more.
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be alive during the time Jesus was on earth? Surely watching him live would grow our faith more than simply reading about him on a computer screen! No, it wouldn’t. Here’s why.
When Jesus says he is the true vine of God, it isn’t simply a self-declaration of his identity. It is a statement that defines our place within God’s workings in this world. In it we find both a warning and an encouragement.
What stands in contrast to worry and anxiety is not peace and quiet. It’s trust. When Jesus tells us to believe, he’s really asking us to trust him. It’s less a leap into darkness and more a reliance on an anchor’s strength.

This is the underlying issue in v.17, which could be read “Is it lawful according to religious law to pay taxes to Caesar which was required by secular law?”
