Defender: Luk 20:25 - unto Caesar

"Caesar" was the name of the Roman emperor, but here his name is used to mean governmental authority in general. This well-known saying was the answer given by Christ to the "spies, which should feign themselves just men" (Luk 20:20) sent by the hypocritical chief priests and scribes looking for an excuse to accuse Him of subversive teachings against the Romans. Jesus not only silenced them (Luk 20:26), but also confirms the fact that Christians should pay legitimate taxes to support the legitimate government (Rom 13:6, Rom 13:7)."

Gill: Luk 20:25 - And he said unto them, render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's // and unto God the things which be God's

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 Mat 22:21.
