12:17 give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar: Jesus’ words cannot be taken as those of an anti-Roman zealot opposing Jewish taxation by Caesar. Jesus clearly indicates elsewhere that he was opposed to the zealot cause (see Matt 5:9, 39, 41; 26:52). However, Jesus’ statement cannot be understood as pro-Roman, either, because service to God is fundamental, and God is ultimately over Caesar. Like the evil farmers in the previous parable, the religious leaders had not given God what belonged to him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὰ Καίσαρος ἀπόδοτε Καίσαρι
the_‹things› ˱of˲_Caesar give_back ˱to˲_Caesar
Here, Caesar represents the Roman leaders and government in general. See how you translated this word in 12:14, but make sure that the connection to the answer “Caesar’s” in 12:16 is clear. Alternate translation: “The things of the Roman leaders, give back to the Roman leaders” or “The things of the Roman empire, give back to the Roman empire”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἀπόδοτε
give_back
Because Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and the Herodians, the command give back is plural.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ
and the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬the ˱to˲_God
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “and give to God the things that belong to God”
