Very often we hear various proverbs and sayings, but we do not always fully understand their meaning. It’s one thing to provide a superficial explanation of this or that statement, as it usually happens in everyday life. And quite another thing is that side of the meaning of what was said, which is revealed to us when we begin to delve deeper into the historical meaning of words, their origin and what they could have meant before.
For example, everyone knows the expression “What is God’s, what is Caesar’s to Caesar.” It is usually used when they want to emphasize that every thing should have its place and you should not claim something that does not belong to you. Caesar is a historical concept, the meaning of which you will find below.

Caesar
Caesar
– Greek form (Καῖσαρ) of the Latin word Caesar. Initially, this word had the meaning of a proper name and was the nickname of Caius Julius, the most famous of the members of the first Roman triumvirate. Then, little by little, it became a household name. The name “Caesar” began to designate those Roman rulers who, like Caius Julius Caesar, united in themselves all the highest positions of the Roman Republic and thus became the rulers of the Roman state, its emperors. The emergence of Christianity coincided with the formation of the Roman Empire; Therefore, in the New Testament writings some of the Roman Caesars are mentioned, namely those during whose reign the events of the initial history of Christianity took place, listed in the sacred New Testament books. Let's call these Caesars. 1) Octavian, who received from the Senate the title of Augustus - “honored” and known under this honorary name († 14 AD). From him, Caesar Augustus, came, according to the testimony of Ev. Luke, a command to take a census of the entire universe. By virtue of this command, everyone went to register in their own city. Joseph also went from Nazareth to Bethlehem to enroll with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was not idle. Here, in Bethlehem, in the days of Caesar Augustus, Christ the Savior was born (Luke 2:1-11). – 2) Tiberius, stepson of Augustus and his successor (14–87 AD). In the fifteenth year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius, John the son of Zechariah appeared, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins and performing this baptism on those who came to him to be baptized. Under Caesar Tiberius, our Savior was baptized by John and then entered public service (Luke 3:1–3, 7:12, 21–23). The image and inscription on the gold coin given to Christ Jesus were Tiberian; First of all, the words of Christ applied to Tiberius Caesar: render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, but the Jews understood Tiberius when, slandering the Lord Jesus, they said that He forbids paying taxes to Caesar, and also when they shouted to Pilate: “You are not a friend of Caesar, no we have a king besides Caesar” (Matt. 22ff. Mark 12ff. Luke 20ff. Luke 23:2. John 19:12, 15). Finally, under Tiberius Caesar, who died in 37, the Lord Jesus suffered death on the cross and rose from the dead. – 3) Claudius (41–54), who succeeded Caius Caligula. Under Caesar Claudius there was a great famine in the Roman Empire, foreshadowed by Agabus, as mentioned in Acts 11:28; according to the same book, the Jews in Thessalonica accused Paul and Silas of going against the commands of Caesar (Acts 17:7), namely Caesar Claudius. Under the same Caesar and by his order, the Jews were removed from Rome (Acts 18:2). – 4) Nero (54–68), stepson and successor of Claudius. During the reign of Nero, it happened to Ap. Paul what is described in chapters 25–28. book Acts. While in chains in Caesarea, the Apostle was accused of many crimes before the governor Festus by his fellow Jews. The latter persistently asked Festus to show them mercy and sent Ap. Paul to Jerusalem for trial, and on the road they plotted to kill the prisoner they hated. Wanting to please the Jews, Festus invited the Apostle to go to Jerusalem. But he said: “I demand the judgment of Caesar” - and the governor answered him: “You have demanded the judgment of Caesar, and you will go to Caesar” (Acts 25: 1-12). Sent in custody to Rome, the Apostle spent time here, awaiting the judgment of Caesar, two years in bonds, without much restraint, however (Acts 28:16–19, 30, 31). All this happened approximately in the years 61–63, and thus Caesar in the above narrative is understood to be Caesar Nero, although he is never mentioned by name.
In the early days of the reign of the Caesars, every subject of the Roman Empire who enjoyed the title of Roman citizen had the right, no matter where in the empire he was, to demand, if he was accused of anything, the court of Caesar. That's why Ap. Paul, who had the dignity of a Roman citizen (Acts 22:25-29), demanded, while in Caesarea, that he, instead of Jerusalem, be sent to Rome for the judgment of the Caesars (Acts 25:11). Since Judea was placed under the control of Roman procurators (in 6 AD), Caesar became the only sovereign of this country, who could establish taxes and collect taxes here (Matthew 22ff. Mark 12:14. Luke .20 words). Since the division of the Roman provinces (27 BC) into provinces governed by the Senate and provinces that depended directly on Caesar, the state treasury was also divided. Taxes from the Senate provinces went to the Senate treasury (aerarium), and tributes from Caesar's provinces went to the treasury, which was directly controlled by Caesar. Since Judea was a province of Caesar, tribute from its population was paid to Caesar (Matthew 22ff., etc.).
Prot. N. Eleonsky
Thus, the name Caesar (ὁ σεβαστο'ς– augustus. Acts 25:21, 25) in the New Testament is always assigned to the Roman emperor as the king of the Jews (John 19:15. Acts 17:7), to whom they are obliged to pay taxes (Matthew 22ff. Luke 20:22, 23:2) and to which, in case of need, provided they had the rights of Roman citizenship, they could appeal (Acts 25:11, 26:32, 28:19). If Jews were accused of criminal offenses, they were required to appear in Rome (Acts 25:12, 21).

Kate Winslet
Kate always believed that a child should be born naturally, and every woman should experience all the hardships of childbirth. The actress was sure that she would not have to have a caesarean section, but the doctors had their own opinion on this matter.

Even despite Kate’s body being suitable, experts insisted on surgical intervention. The actress was very upset about the operation, so during her second pregnancy she insisted on a natural birth. After 14 hours of torment and pain, she managed to give birth to a baby, which the star was incredibly happy about.
Preparing for a caesarean section
Before a cesarean section is performed in a clinic, a woman needs to take some measures:
- pass the tests prescribed by the doctor within the prescribed time frame;
- do an ECG and study of the blood vessels of the legs;
- one day before surgery, undergo an examination by an anesthesiologist to select the most adequate method of pain relief;
- CTG and ultrasound of the fetus the day before surgery;
- hygiene measures - in the evening and morning before the operation;
- last meal 12 hours and fluids 8 hours before surgery.
On the day of surgery:
- upon entering the maternity hospital, the patient is given additional hygiene measures, if necessary;
- the patient is changed into sterile underwear and compression stockings;
- placed on a gurney and transferred to the operating unit.
Biblical meaning of the proverb
The above statement has biblical origins, as do a large number of other expressions that we hear in everyday life. Thus, many say these words without knowing who Caesar is. Not everyone knows that this statement is more of an everyday rather than philosophical origin. According to biblical texts, the Pharisees (in the teachings of early Christians this concept was equivalent to a hypocrite and a bigot), opponents of Christ, asked the question of whether it was necessary to pay tribute to the Caesars (Caesar is the Roman emperor) who ruled in Judea.
The hypocrisy of this question asked by them is clearly perceived. If Jesus said that this should be done, then it means that he wants to sell himself to Rome. And, in turn, if Christ had answered that this was not a necessity, then he could safely be declared hostile towards the official authorities. Thus, Christ risked any answer that the Pharisees expected to hear.
However, they did not take into account how the situation could turn out and how Jesus would get out of this situation. He took a Roman coin on which Caesar Augustus was depicted (we remind you that Caesar is the emperor), and gave an answer to the Pharisees in a way that they could not have expected. Christ asked about whose image is contained on such coins. The Pharisees replied that it was Caesar's. It was in response to this phrase, according to legend, that the famous expression was uttered. Christ said that Caesar’s things must be given to Caesar, and God’s things to God.
Meaning of the saying
To Caesar - what is Caesar's, and to God - what is God's: the meaning of the phraseological unit has several interpretations.
In the Bible
The incident of “Caesar’s denarius” is described in three books of the Gospel - Luke, Matthew and Mark. Such a frequent description of Christ’s clash with the Pharisees means only one thing - the importance of the Savior’s words for humanity.
In modern world
Today, the famous phraseological unit in the interpretation of “Give everyone what they deserve” is a fundamental principle of justice.
He inspired and continues to inspire artists, writers, film directors and musicians to create masterpieces of art. Caravaggio dedicated his painting to him. Leonardo Sciaschi and Valentin Pikul named their novels with this phrase, and Mario Venuti named his song.
The catchphrase is also used for advertising purposes by Nokia, Rewe, Microsoft, McDonalds Corporation, Beeline and others.
However, the use of phraseology met with a mixed reaction from the public - after all, the Nazis also liked the expression “To each his own.” They placed it above the entrance to the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Benefits of performing a caesarean section at EMC
- Obstetricians and gynecologists at the EMC maternity hospital in Moscow are proficient in all modern techniques for performing a caesarean section, including the Stark method. This method takes into account the anatomy, in particular, the structure of the woman’s muscles. Thanks to this operation, the rehabilitation period, as well as pain in the postpartum period, is significantly reduced. On the same day after the operation, the patient is already able to get out of bed, the next day she is completely independent, and 48 hours after the operation she can be discharged from the maternity hospital.
- The work experience of obstetricians and gynecologists at the EMC maternity hospital ranges from 15 to 40 years. Even when concluding a contract for childbirth with an on-duty team, expectant mothers can be sure that they will be in the hands of high-level professionals.
- If the woman in labor wishes, a “partner caesarean section” is possible, when someone close to her may be nearby during the operation. In addition, next to the operating room there is a comfortable waiting room in case relatives do not want to be present at the operation itself, but want to congratulate the mother and see the baby immediately after birth and cut the umbilical cord.
- After the operation, the child, as well as after a natural birth, is placed to the chest, and the umbilical cord is cut only after its pulsation has stopped, if there are no indications for emergency resuscitation measures.
- If a woman is delayed in the intensive care ward, they must bring her a baby to feed her. This is very important for the proper development of lactation.
- In the maternity hospital of the European Medical as such. The cost of the contract does not depend on the method of delivery. Therefore, even if emergency surgery is required, the price will not be increased.
- Our women in labor do not need to worry about the advance selection and purchase of compression stockings, as well as everything else that may be required in the maternity hospital. We issue everything on the spot. The only thing you must bring with you to the maternity hospital is your passport.
