25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
25 He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
25 He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
25 "Caesar," they said. Jesus said, "Then give Caesar what is his and give God what is his."
25 And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
25 "Well then," he said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 20:25
Commentary on Luke 20:20-26
(Read Luke 20:20-26)
Those who are most crafty in their designs against Christ and his gospel, cannot hide them. He did not give a direct answer, but reproved them for offering to impose upon him; and they could not fasten upon any thing wherewith to stir up either the governor or the people against him. The wisdom which is from above, will direct all who teach the way of God truly, to avoid the snares laid for them by wicked men; and will teach our duty to God, to our rulers, and to all men, so clearly, that opposers will have no evil to say of us.
