Matthew 6:31-33

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

From Background Notes [BN] for Oct 24th & 25th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The impact of the economic crunch was severe, producing signs of social disintegration, such as widespread emigration, a growing number of landless "hirelings", and a social class of robbers and beggars.


Moreover, the double obligation faced the population with an economic dilemma which was at the same time a test of religious loyalty. In addition to paying the Roman taxes, enforced by Roman police power, should one, could one, also pay the taxes required by Torah? [BN,5]
