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).
