Matthew 22:21

They replied, ¹  “Caesar’s.” He said to them, ²  “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” ³ 

Pr 24:21; Da 3:16-18; Da 6:10,11,20-23; Mal 1:6-8; Mal 3:8-10; Mt 4:10; Mt 17:25-27; Mt 22:37; Lu 23:2; Ac 4:19; Ac 5:29; Ro 13:7; 1Pe 2:13-17

¹ tn Grk “they said to him.”

² tn Grk “then he said to them.” τότε (tote) has not been translated to avoid redundancy.

³ sn Jesus’ answer to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s was a both/and, not the questioners’ either/or. So he slipped out of their trap.
