The author of this article looks into Jesus’ attitude towards secular authority and the State as well as their law and institutions in the view of synoptic tradition (Mt 22,15–22; Mk 12,13–17; Łk 20,20–26). After deep exegesis has been completed, the author states that according to Jesus’ teaching presented in selected materials, the relations between the Church and the State should be created and guaranteed in order not to force a religious citizen choose either one or other in a situation in which faith and living according to its rules in everyday life is perceived by laic representatives of authority as opposing the state and rejecting its laws and institutions. It should also be mentioned that Jesus led his wordlylife during divine Caesar’s reign and Pax Roman and was not convicted for any political or state offence. Living in both Caesar’s kingdom and God’s kingdom he led his life according to the rules of Kingdom Gospel. Here is the meaning of His words: „The God’s kingdom is among you” (Łk 17,21).
