And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

"Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar - and what is God's to God."

And so, he said to them: "Then repay the things that are Caesar's, to Caesar, and the things that are God's, to God."

"The Emperor's," they said; and Jesus replied, "Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God."

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.

things which be CÃ&brvbr;sar's--Putting it in this general form, it was impossible for sedition itself to dispute it, and yet it dissolved the snare.
and unto God--How much there is in this profound but to them startling addition to the maxim, and how incomparable is the whole for fulness, brevity, clearness, weight!
