6:12 and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves ¹  have forgiven our debtors.

Matius 15:33

Matius 22:17

22:17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it right ²  to pay taxes ³  to Caesar ⁴  or not?”

[6:12]  ¹ tn Or “as even we.” The phrase ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς (Jw" kai Jhmei") makes ἡμεῖς emphatic. The translation above adds an appropriate emphasis to the passage.

[22:17]  ² tn 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.

[22:17]  ³ tn According to L&N 57.180 the term κῆνσος (khnso") was borrowed from Latin and referred to a poll tax, a tax paid by each adult male to the Roman government.

[22:17]  sn This question concerning taxes was specifically designed to trap Jesus. If he answered yes, then his opponents could publicly discredit him as a sympathizer with Rome. If he answered no, then they could go to the Roman governor and accuse Jesus of rebellion.

[22:17]  ⁴ tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).
