Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

20:25 give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar: Jesus’ brilliant answer could be taken in two ways. On the face of it, he said that this was Caesar’s money that should properly be paid to Caesar. Jesus’ Jewish listeners also knew that what belongs to Caesar was actually nothing, since everything in the universe belongs to God.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀπόδοτε τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι, καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ
give_back the_‹things› ˱of˲_Caesar ˱to˲_Caesar and the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬the ˱to˲_God
Jesus is referring to the Roman government by the name of Caesar, its ruler. Alternate translation: [pay the Roman government what it deserves, and pay God what he deserves]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ
and the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God ¬the ˱to˲_God
Jesus is speaking compactly and he does not repeat the verb give back, but it may be supplied from the previous phrase. Alternate translation: [and pay God what he deserves]
