A Visit to the House of Hazrat Maryam (AS) (Mother of Jesus AS)
Saint John was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, he was a very helpful, gentle and good person. When Jesus was being led to the cross, he said to Saint John, "After me you take care of my mother”. Saint John accepted this responsibility and dedicated the rest of his life to the service of Hazrat Maryam (AS). After Jesus, the land of Jerusalem was narrowed down for Christians, so they started leaving Israel one by one. (Saint Peter occupied the same position in the life of Jesus as Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A) had in the blessed life of the Holy Prophet). He left Jerusalem and went to Rome and took refuge on a hill outside the city. The Romans found out and crucified him on the same hill. His followers took him down from the cross and buried him on the same hill.

Julius Caesar
This quote comes from the Gospel of Matthew 22:15-22, and the original problem was a dilemma. The same description is found in Mark 12:13-17. The first thing to know about this is that the Jews were not a "free" people; instead, they were under the jurisdiction of the Romans. But the Jews cherished their national identity and used their own currency in the temple of Judaism. Outside the temple, by law, the currency of the local government was to be used. Therefore, the money for donations and taxes, as well as the popular currency among the people, were Roman coins.
