The Pharisees were ardent nationalists, opposed to Roman rule, while the hated Herodians, as their name indicates, supported the Roman rule of the Herods. Now, however, the Pharisees enlist the help of the Herodians to trap Jesus in His words. After trying to put Him off guard with flattery, they sprang their question: "Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?" (v. 17). If He said "No", the Herodians would report Him to the Roman governor and He would be executed for treason. If He said "Yes", the Pharisees would denounce Him to the people as disloyal to His nation.
