22:19 Show me the coin used for the tax.” So¹ they brought him a denarius.² 22:20 Jesus³ said to them, “Whose image⁴ is this, and whose inscription?” 22:21 They replied,⁵ “Caesar’s.” He said to them,⁶ “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”⁷ 22:22 Now when they heard this they were stunned,⁸ and they left him and went away.

Context
20:24 “Show me a denarius.⁹ Whose image¹⁰ and inscription are on it?”¹¹ They said, “Caesar’s.” 20:25 So¹² he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”¹³ 20:26 Thus¹⁴ they were unable in the presence of the people to trap¹⁵ him with his own words.¹⁶ And stunned¹⁷ by his answer, they fell silent.

Context
20:2 and said to him,¹⁸ “Tell us: By what authority¹⁹ are you doing these things?²⁰ Or who it is who gave you this authority?”

Luke 2:19

Revelation 3:12

Context
3:12 The one who conquers²² I will make²³ a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never depart from it. I²⁴ will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God),²⁵ and my new name as well.

[22:19] ¹tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate their response to Jesus’ request for a coin.

[22:19] ²tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.

[22:20] ³tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[22:20] ⁴tn Or “whose likeness.”

[22:21] ⁵tn Grk “they said to him.”

[22:21] ⁶tn Grk “then he said to them.” τότε (tote) has not been translated to avoid redundancy.

[22:21] ⁷sn 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.

[22:22] ⁸tn Grk “they were amazed; they marveled.”

[20:24] ⁹tn Here the specific name of the coin was retained in the translation, because not all coins in circulation in Palestine at the time carried the image of Caesar. In other places δηνάριον (dhnarion) has been translated simply as “silver coin” with an explanatory note.

[20:24] ¹⁰tn Or “whose likeness.”

[20:24] ¹¹tn Grk “whose likeness and inscription does it have?”

[20:25] ¹²tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ pronouncement results from the opponents’ answer to his question.

[20:25] ¹³sn 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.

[20:26] ¹⁴tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ unexpected answer.

[20:26] ¹⁵tn On this term, see BDAG 374 s.v. ἐπιλαμβάνομαι 3.

[20:26] ¹⁶tn Grk “to trap him in a saying.”

[20:26] ¹⁷tn Or “amazed.”

[20:2] ¹⁸tn Grk “and said, saying to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[20:2] ¹⁹tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.

[20:2] ²⁰sn The leadership is looking back to acts like the temple cleansing (19:45-48). How could a Galilean preacher do these things?

[2:19] ²¹tn The term συμβάλλουσα (sumballousa) suggests more than remembering. She is trying to put things together here (Josephus, Ant. 2.5.3 [2.72]). The words “what they might mean” have been supplied in the translation to make this clear. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[3:12] ²²tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”

[3:12] ²³tn Grk “I will make him,” but the pronoun (αὐτόν, auton, “him”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.

[3:12] ²⁴tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:12] ²⁵sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here.
