Luke 20:25

25 et ait illis reddite ergo quae Caesaris sunt Caesari et quae Dei sunt Deo

Luke 20:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:25

And he said unto them, render therefore unto Caesar the
things which be Caesar's
The Arabic version renders it, "give to the king what is the king's"; the tribute that was due to him; since they were under his government, and were protected by him, and traded with his money; the currency of which among them was an acknowledgment of him as their sovereign:

and unto God the things which be God's;
which relate to his worship, honour, interest, and kingdom; (See Gill on Matthew 22:21).

Luke 20:25 In-Context

23 considerans autem dolum illorum dixit ad eos quid me temptatis
24 ostendite mihi denarium cuius habet imaginem et inscriptionem respondentes dixerunt Caesaris
25 et ait illis reddite ergo quae Caesaris sunt Caesari et quae Dei sunt Deo
26 et non potuerunt verbum eius reprehendere coram plebe et mirati in responso eius tacuerunt
27 accesserunt autem quidam Sadducaeorum qui negant esse resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum
