Basically I'm asking what would be the effects of Jesus of Nazareth (the historical figure) simply telling his followers to not or never render unto Caesar (pay taxes) what is Caesar's instead of the biblical account of him saying the opposite.
I assume this wouldve firmly painted him as a revolutionary in the eyes of his Jewish contemporaries but outside of that, what effect would this more maccabein Jesus of Nazareth have on the overall Christian narrative of his life?
Could more Jews have found him sympathetic given his more anti-Roman leanings?
Could more have perceived him to be the Messiah?
Could he possibly have been arrested and executed sooner?
