This is the opposite of what the biblical Jesus did.
Says pay taxes to Rome.
Calls religious leaders a brood of vipers.
Eh.
Anti-Roman imperialist.
Pro Jewish theocracy.

No, he pointed to Roman coins and said to a Roman spy to “Render unto Caesar’s what is Caesar’s,” and was eventually executed for treason and being generally obnoxious to the Romans.
A sceptical sort might note that, to a rebellious territory that would launch a massive, religiously rooted revolt a few decades after his assumed death, while his new cult had spread like wildfire, “What is Caesar’s” might have two answers to a conquered subject and a Roman.
You might also ask yourself if the Roman Church might have downplayed certain aspects of his life while proselytizing and becoming part of the imperial establishment.

The Jewish theocracy was involved in his murder. So, he apparently said and did a lot of things they didn’t agree with.
