Is it right¹ for us to pay the tribute tax² to Caesar³ or not?”

NET Notes

¹tn Or “lawful,” that is, in accordance with God’s divine law. On the syntax of ἔξεστιν (exestin) with an infinitive and accusative, see BDF §409.3.

²tn This was a “poll tax.” L&N 57.182 states this was “a payment made by the people of one nation to another, with the implication that this is a symbol of submission and dependence – ‘tribute tax.’”

³tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).
