I recall a story of how Jesus was confronted by a group of men that wanted to trap him with his own words, they asked him a Question where both answers yes or no would anger people. He was asked if it was right to pay taxes to Caesar? If he said Yes then he would offend everybody that felt oppressed by Rome, if he said no then all the Roman staff and soldiers would be offended.
Jesus said whose image is on the coin used to pay the tax? They said it's emporer Cesar's. So Jesus said Give to cesar what belongs to cesar and give to God what belongs to God.
He was trying to give everybody the bread of life. Everlasting life in exchange for faith in him.
