In Luke 20 the Jewish leaders tried to trap Jesus by asking Him if it was okay to pay tribute to Caesar or not. First, Jesus asked them for a coin showing immediately that they did pay tribute in spite of what they might have said to the contrary. After all they were using Caesar's money. But when Jesus asked them whose imprint or image was on the coin they said it was Caesar's. Then Jesus said something amazing. He said that they were to give to Caesar was was due to Cesar and to God what was due God. The coin bore the image of Caesar but each one of us bears the image of God. The implication is obvious.
