Mark 12:17

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

And Jesus answering said unto them,.... Very wisely and pertinently,

render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's: or "to the king, which are the king's", as the Arabic and Ethiopic versions render it:

and to God the things that are God's; [See comments on Matthew 22:21];

and they marvelled at him; at his wisdom and prudence in returning such an answer, which cut off all occasion against him.
