Biblical Context: 95% (The scene closely aligns with the Gospel accounts of the tax question posed by the Pharisees, set in Judea during Jesus’ ministry, per Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:13-17, and Luke 20:20-26.)

Transcript with Biblical Context
(00:00:01 --- 00:00:06): Yussif: "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

Biblical Context: Matthew 22:17 (NIV) - “Tell us then, what is Your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”

Note: Nearly verbatim from Matthew 22:17, with Yussif’s role fictional but aligned with Pharisees’ challenge.

(00:00:23 --- 00:00:45): Jesus: "You want to put Me to the test. All right, show Me the coin for the tax to Rome. Denarius, somebody, anybody. Thank you. Tell Me, whose likeness and inscription is this?"

Biblical Context: Matthew 22:18-20 (NIV) - “But Jesus… said, ‘You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap Me? Show Me the coin… Whose image is this? And whose inscription?’”

Note: Near-verbatim, with “put Me to the test” and casual tone as creative touches.

(00:00:45 --- 00:00:53): Yussif: "The likeness is of Caesar and the inscription, I don’t like to utter pagan things but…"

Biblical Context: Matthew 22:21 (NIV) - “‘Caesar’s,’ they replied.”

Note: Identical to Scripture, with reluctance as a fictional detail.

(00:02:04 --- 00:02:43): Jesus: "Paying your taxes doesn’t mean affirming his claim of divinity… The coin belongs to Caesar. You belong to Him. Therefore, render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s."

Biblical Context: Matthew 22:21 (NIV) - “Then He said to them, ‘So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.’”

Note: Verbatim from Matthew 22:21, with explanation as a fictional elaboration.
